If it were ME........I would try and ignore him completely. I would cut my med dose in half so that it just took the edge off of the anxiety, and not make me fuzzy. That's what I would do...I would also call him every name I could think of under my breath......

You on the other hand need to do what's right for you. If going to higher ups would do it, then go for it. As far as your knees.....If it's listed on your application then it might be grounds for some kind of harassment.

Sometimes people in authority are just plan asses, and need to prove themselves as superior. Just perfect.....Yup first perfect A**Hole I have met in a long time(is what I would be thinking)

Hope things ease up some for you.....
