In reply to Honesty with doctors about lifestyle and meds?, posted by PattyG on March 2, 2000, at 17:04:59
Despite my mistrust of pdocs, I have been honest with my drug abuse. And I'm talking abuse not occasional recreational use. Not one time have I been condemned, I was told I was self medicating and each one tried to make me see I was defeating my treatment by using other drugs. I guess I can understand how alcohol can worsen depression, but they had a hard sell when it came to my use of opiates. I guess since you are paying these people for a service, it only makes sense that they have an accurate picture to make a treatment plan. Best of luck.
