This is the correct amount of effort for a thread like this.

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.

Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment. Six weeks in on methadone and it lines up.

You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in. Currently on alprazolam myself.
