another thing I thought of...most states have a legal help line run by the state bar association. If you call between certain hours (you'll need to google this one), they can answer questions. Also, most of them have email services to help you out.

also check out... www.allexperts.com

Its a free question+answer sight...there might be a lawyer in your area who can answer a basic question about your situation, or at least someone who can point you in the right direction of someone to connect with to make this bull***t stop.
You might also want to contact a paralegal. Although they cant usually practice (I think some states give a little leeway on that, though), they can offer legal advice and documents for less money than a lawyer, often with more hands-on attention to your needs.

Finally, and I don't know if this is possible but...do you think maybe you could contact the state medical board or your local chapter of the american psychiatric association (I'm assuming the doc who is causing you problems is a shrink) and look into filing a complaint? What s/he is doing is clearly harassment, and it is *clearly* overstepping the bounds of his/her authority and undermining the authority of your own physician. I would imagine a medical board would be quick to punish a doc who spoke out against a fellow doctor for no real reason except for a baseless disapproval of the other doc's prescribing practices.

Good luck!
