I've only done that sort of thing a couple of times, and have told the doctor each time. It's been hard, too, especially since I've really only done it when I'm not doing well with a pdoc anyway...

I've made the decision to tell the doctor for a pretty simple reason: it makes it a whole heckuva lot easier to get the prescriptions! It's been hard to bring it up, but I have generally started the conversation with, "I know that a lot of doctors are not pleased when patients self-medicate, but I tried this, and it helped a lot. Can we continue it?" You know, addressing what they're likely to see as an issue, and then moving on to what I consider the primary issue: continuing a treatment which may work...

That's what I've done. I'll be interested to see other answers.
