Why do some doctors act like people with headaches are simply out to get drugs?

Tagged As: Stress Headache

Question:
My doctor (I've had this doc for less then 1 year because my old doc retired) treats me like an idiot. I have stress headaches and they get so bad that I get sick to my stomach. Light, sounds and strong odors really bother me. But my doc won't prescribe me anything. My old doc gave me Fiornal and that really helped. Why do some doctors act like people with headaches are simply out to get drugs? How do I go about finding a doc that will take me seriously?

Answer:
Are you sure they are stress headaches? sounds more like migraines. i'd go find a neurologist if i were you.. they will prescribe the drugs you need more than the others who think you are having 'just a headache'.
