Does your family doctor know about other medications you take?
Hi Barb,
I dont tell my doctor what I take other than my nuerontin and my bc pill other than that I just tell him that I take vitamins and nothing else but it is out of fear that he may try to make me stop taking the other pills and I am nopt ready nor do I want to do that.
I know that there could be interactions and stuff like that but I dont think about it not because I dont want to think about it but because I just dont care right now maybe someday I will but for now my fears control me.
I know that I really should tell my doctor but at this point in my life I have too many fears.

Erin, honey, thanks for your honesty!
Yes my doctor knows about all the meds and vitamins and OTC meds I take.
I know this is probably an inaccurate interpretation of the situation...I do let my doctor know about everything that I feel could possibly cause an interaction...and I am careful about other OTC meds I take. I know that doing that is really important...and I should probably stop worrying about what my doctor thinks of me...so thanks again for your post.
