It sounds to me like yes you're quite multiple. It also sounds like your doctor can't stand that you're all right with it, because he can't make it better and that gets between him and his money. But if you take meds, he makes money. So of course he gives you meds, because after all, he loves him some money.
It's terrible to be stuck out front and not communicate with anyone inside. Do you do all right off the meds, other than pissing off your doctor ? Because if you do, you might want to *very carefully and after doing enough research*, slowly wean yourself off. (Unless you're on Effexor, or some med like that. Effexor it's not a good idea to just wean off of.)
The best advice for weaning off psych meds, is not in the med-sponsored sites like...oh, I can't think of the names of any of them now. But if you can find blogs where people talk about their personal experiences, that's where the real information is. (Oh. One bad place is Web MD. Sites like that. They don't give you the facts at all.)
If this is a med that requires blood testing and you have no choice about whether or not to continue with this doctor, it could come down to starting back on the meds before each visit, and weaning off them again after. Which is dangerous to a person's health. (We've had to do this.)
