If your doctor won't prescribe them, find a new doctor. You need a doctor who is going to work with you in this situation.
I've been in a similar situation myself. Having a doctor I could sit down with and say "OK, here's my latest research, can we try this?" was critical to both my physical and mental wellbeing.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), it became my job to find out what was wrong with me and his job to make sure I didn't hurt myself in that process. I have a very different view of the medical industry as a result.
This is exactly what I've been doing for 18 years. Hiring and firing new doctors, and trying to navigate "what should I investigate next?" on my own. To be fair, there were several doctors who were willing to try (just about) anything I brought to the table, and when they were all out of ideas, they admitted as much. Unfortunately this type of doctor is rare, in my experience. Which is why I'm asking for help finding a good one in my area (Cleveland).
