How do I get my psych. to realize the meds are hurting, not helping?

I went through heck getting off of Ativan, morophine, Effexor, and some other meds about six weeks ago. NOW, my psych wants me back on them. My mother-in-law died, and I am stressed, but wanting to try and deal with it without medications. I am actually doing so much better without them, handling stress quite well, happy without being over-wriggly, etc. She wants me on Ativan, 2mg 3x's day and if I did that, I would be a zombie! I didn't get the 'script filled, and dont need the med... but she was really mad that I quit taking it to begin with... and will be even more pissed if I tell her I haven't started it again. Gahh... what do you suggest? Thanks for all your help. :~)
