I wasn't trying to bash my Neuro. Just honestly stating what he answered my question with. And yes, it was a little irritating.

That said, I always look up meds that I've never taken before. Or I look on NeuroTalk.....there's bound to be someone here that's had experience with whatever it is I'm checking out.

It just seems to me that if a doctor is going to prescribe something to someone they should have at least looked it up to see if it interacts with meds the patient is already taking.

My Neuro sits with a laptop furiously typing what I'm assuming is notes about my visit and my condition. It would just take a minute to look up a med in question and both of us could see what it says together. Then, if I have any questions we could discuss it.

I know there are doctors out there that go the extra mile for their patients and give a higher level of care and empathy than others. My PCP is like that. Unfortunately, for Neuro issues I have to go to the Neuro.
