Answers:
You have not heard of the golden rule, have you. It's: He who has the gold, rules. You are the one that should be getting mad because he/she is not helping you all these months. That's their job. That's why you pay them. If what you are taking does not work for you, tell him/her to change the medication. That's normal because not all meds work the same way with everyone. My wife went thru a dozen meds before they found the right one that actually works for her. So, hang in there and tell him/her what's working and what's not.

Other Answers:
Your doctor should be trying to help you, so he shouldn't get mad. If he does, switch doctors.
