Unusual response from psychiatrist? [View all]

So I told my psychiatrist about the issues I've been having recently regarding intense anxiety at night and my cravings for alcohol. I said I thought it had to do with the medication I was on and said that I think I should go off it or switch to something else. He refused to answer me though really. He said "what would you do if I told you you should stay on it?" I said I probably would stay on it, then he said "what would you do if I told you you should quit" I said I would probably quit. I said that most people would listen to their DR. Then he said "what would you do if I told you to get a job or go to school", these are of course my central issues. Basically he's saying I guess that I don't make my own decisions and leave all my choices to others to make even if I know the right choice. I know he's right about that. But he never told me what I should do regarding the medication. He said it seems I want to be medicated or in a fog so I don't have to face things. This is also true to an extent, certainly that's why I drink. But the meds were also prescribed by my previous psych. I'm going to go off it I think since it doesn't seem to be helping. Seems like an odd situation...

He's a psychoanalyst, Freudian type, and it seems he doesn't believe in meds. I suppose meds haven't done much for me. It's odd that he left the decision entirely up to me though. Didn't even say anything about how to quit etc...
