Sorry you are so frustrated right now, but I don't think that's going to work. I spent over 22 years in the U.S. military and unless it was an emergency situation of some sort (where, of course, any medical person will help anyone - regardless of status - if possible) you cannot get treatment by a U.S. doctor.
Remember, the doctors on the U.S. bases in Germany are only there to care for the active duty and civil service employees and their families who are stationed there. They have no legal or ethical way to give routine care to a local national. They are not licensed to do so. In fact, it could potentially get them in serious trouble.
I hope you find another way to get a proper Rx for a medicine you can't get there and them maybe get it filled legally and sent to you. There could be others here who can advise you on that. Can you check with surrounding places - France, Spain, or even GB if you can cross the Channel...would that be a possibility... to find a doctor with a different point of view or policy? Of course, I am not up on the laws over there.
I wish you well. p.s. - I was stationed at Ramstein AB for three years.
