I am not surprised.

It would probably not sway an arrogant neurologist to give proof
of the problem.

But here is some anyway.

Here is a study Dr. Cohen discusses, where he found many doctors DON'T LISTEN or take patients side effects seriously.
The topic is statins...but I believe it can be for any drug class and this illustrates how narrow minded doctors can be.

Doctors are really undertrained and undereducated in the area of drugs. They often do not even understand how a drug actually works in the body. I spent 40+ yrs fielding questions and pointing this out. Even when they massively overdose a patient, and yes, this does happen, when reminded they can become very combative and nasty. I have had many horrible situations I have had to endure, in the patient's best interest.

Choose your battles carefully. Sometimes it is not worth it to argue with a doctor. But you as a patient have the RIGHT to refuse a drug treatment at any time. I have found for myself, that being docile, and even resorting to "begging" (when I was in the hospital with my C-section), works best. In the end they cannot force you to take ANYTHING(unless you are declared incompetent, and have legal commitment papers, and are in an "institution").
