For this gabapentin thing, you can say a pharmacist told you some people don't respond to every generic equally. That should fix that. Some doctors HATE the internet...because???? They are lazy and don't keep up and don't like being revealed. That's my opinion.

Today, there are better medical sites than ever before...so providing one of THOSE printed out may convince doctors who are not concealing their own laziness or stupidity and are open to learning. Just whip out the American Association of Family Physicians website copies for those die hards. (The AAFP has a wonderful B12 update from 2003 that every doctor should read and understand, and it even suggests oral forms as effective!)
