I have done this before too, it's certainly reasonable especially if you feel your medication is currently not working. I say go for it, and I hope it is helpful for you! Just outline your case with who-ever prescribes them for you and hopefully they'll be responsive (you, afterall, are the patient who is taking the stuff and feeling the symptoms). If they are not responsive though, ask them way and try and work through it - don't give up.
I ended up getting my GP to prescribe my meds because my psychiatrist was so bent on this specific one that wasn't working for me. So it is so worth seeking out one that you feel will help.
