tellinmg doctor i took shrooms?

hi...
this afternoon i took about 3 grams of dried shrooms and floated down the river in an inflatable raft drinking beer. i only had about 3 beers and the walk home i felt absolutely amazing and really quite sober. i then smoked some weed and went to get kebabs. this is about 4 or 5 hours after taking the shrooms. so i was sitting in the kebab place and everything just started getting really lous and confusing then i was on the ground with my head ringing and one friend said i fainted, but another said it looked like i had a fucking seizure. he was really drunk and can tend to be melodramatic, but still, if i was shaking and looking like i was having a seizure i want to be sure i know im fine.
so i have comforted myself now saying it was just dehydration from being in the sun all afternoon, then the weed hit me too hard, but my head is still sort of ringing so i will go to the doctor tomorrow to get it checked out
but the thing i want to know is, will the doctor do anything if he knew I was on shrooms and weed and beer? i would have to tell him, could I get in trouble?

You cant get in trouble for telling your doctor stuff like that, in fact it's probably something you should bring up. Doctor - Patient Confidentiality prevents them from releasing any information except in the case of a violent crime i beleive.
I went to the doctor when i was about 18 due to depression and was asked if i did any drugs. I was honest (and at that time I was a full blown meth addict, and would smoke/snort/swallow anything else that came along). There were absolutely no legal reprocussions, but he did tell me that my drug use was most likely the source of my depression (which it was.

There won't be legal ramifications because of confidentiality. But he could label you a drug abuser in your charts and info - it will be hard to get any kind of narcotic prescription thereafter.

i recall once a man in texas (of course texas sucks for drug laws) said that he drank a six pack a day to his doctor, and his doctor used this information to get his driver's license revoked.
so yes you can tell, yes you should be safe, but this is america, so tread warily....
I mean if you are having a health problem though by all means tell him... but a lot of people black out if they smoke weed after being hungry and otherwise exhausted.... I've heard that people tend to get off their planes in Amsterdam, having not eaten much or gotten good rest for hours, run right out to smoke, and then immediately pass out because their bodies aren't ready to get high.
so.... it was probably normal.

Do not tell your doctors about the illegal drugs you use unless your experiencing serious medical problems from them. Mushrooms and tripping can sometimes be hard on the body feinting and feeling shitty sometimes happen.
If you tell your doctor about your drug abuse it will be put into your record which means you wont be getting prescriptions for any narcotics or any other medication.

i have had many friends who black out on mushrooms ... it is not that uncommon, especially on higher doses or in mixes, as well as with dehydration ... all factors ...
i doubt you'd need to be checked out, but better safe than sorry, yea?

Thanks for the advice, guys.
I decided to let my doctor know anyway, as I would rather be sure, and he was pretty good about it. He gave me a semi-lecture about why I should wait a few more years to decide if I want to experiement with psilocybin, but reassured me it was just feinting, so all is well.

well, it wasn't a serious lecture, he certainly didn't seem too concerned that I had taken it, and he said something along the lines of:
"psilocybin is a fairly benign drug, it isn't dangerous, but at this point in your mental and social development it isn't good for you. spend more time studying and socialising, less time smoking weed and doing shrooms"
he seemed more concerned that it would affect my grades than doing myself any real damage. he also said something like
"wait until you are about 25 and have a careeer before you decide to use psychoactives, and then you might realise life can be just as enjoyable without them"
note this is all from my memory, which is fairly shot to shit from all the weed I smoke. actually, he seemed more concerned about my marijuana use than shroom use.

Your doctor's better than mine. Mine lectures me about how marijuana causes brain damage. After he told me that, I lost all trust in his medical expertise.

"wait until you're 25..."
Psh. I believe that psychoactives are an avenue of life and exploration that should be experienced by all who are willing to understand it and accept its consequences.
Hope the ringing stops (which it will).

If your doctor broke the patient confidentiality all evidence he had against you would be null.

He told me to tough it out

I would too. I can understand the average doctor advising against heavy usage, but to give in to a myth like that as a medical professional? Time to get a new doctor.
