When doctors ask about drug use, do you tell the truth?
    #22112360 - 08/19/15 02:54 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I've had a lot of medical problems lately, one of the doctors I saw today asked me about drinking, told her a few times a month and 5-6 at a time when the truth is like every Friday and Saturday but the 5-6 was accurate.

She continued to ask about recreational drug use and I lied and said just weed, do you guys tell them the truth or feel any need or relevance to telling them the truth. Just for context this is about chest problems so apart from things I smoke I felt no need to tell them anything more and always had a paranoia that it can somehow come back to bite me if i did.

What about you guys, do you tell them the truth, why or why not?

I did that once.

Gatekeeping everytime, all medical professions i've sought out. Psychology, psychiatry, medicine.
Don't ever tell a doctor you do your own research.
Don't ever tell a psychologist how you truely feel.
Don't ever admit to a psychiatrist you've already tried all options.

Despite citing numerous studies, making comparisons inbetween drugs and giving personal experience on both the positive and negative.

They. Will. Not. Listen.

Informed consent should be everything you need, sadly, that is not the reality.

I say lie untill your face turns purple.
You feel they gatekeep?

Move on to the next.

I don't see either a psychologist or a psychiatrist.  I think they need to know the chemicals I use.  For instance if you use opiates or drink they have to adjust your anesthesia for tolerance.  You wanna be awake through an eye operation?

Depends on the circumstances. When I went to the ER with heart attack like symptoms (which I didn't even want to go but everyone urged me to) I told them about my drug use, specifically cocaine. When I went to the ER with a rotovirus, I think I told them about the mushrooms I ate right before the symptoms appeared, but I'm not positive because at the time I was pretty delirious.

When I go see the usual doctor, no I don't tell him about drug use, though he hasn't asked yet either. I won't for the simple reason that I'm on a benzo and if I tell him I'm afraid he'll take me off of it.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

i'm pretty sure if your there because of your own will its fine to say that, they ask those questions for a reason, probably related to relieving the symptoms you went for. if its court ordered or something then of course you lie considering your not there because you actually have a problem.

Yes, its a very good idea. This is your health man!

My mother once told me, "Never lie to doctors or lawyers, you pay them to help you"

Only if they need to know. Yes, that's something I can generally sort out on my own

I have a real negative feeling toward medical professionals. They really act like they know it all.
