I'm honest with my psychiatrist about my drug and alcohol consumption, but then again I don't use street drugs and only drink moderately on occasion, so I never have anything to report to my doctor (concerning drug use) that I wouldn't want to tell him.

> I used to drink but haven't had one drink in 15 years. I think it's made me worse. Beer used to just allow me relaxation and a great night sleep. And yes I'd tell and did at the time when I did. Phillipa

My psychiatrist always cautions me to be careful not to reduce too much any drinking or recreational drug use, although he did allow himself to say that taking cocaine all night and drinking like a fish was ruinous.

But hey, nobodies perfect (oh no your not!).

U:" well fine till 5 days ago, then from nowhere bang! I hit rock bottom. I wanna die!!! boo-hoo. Please I beg you give me a quick lift, maybe some adderal? (eye-lids flutter)"

'I will be fine with some Dexedrine and some Xanax?'
As my psychiatrist says 'We live under a Methodist dispensation'.

I can just imagine your doc getting some little bottles out from his desk drawer.

Unfortunately or otherwise, my psychiatrist does not prescribe opiates, which would be just the thing after a rough weekend.
He says 'The opiate receptor is the Devil's receptor'.

This is a remarkably attractive idea, but I am way too old for it.

No, I don't do anything interesting at all(in the way we are talking of) on my weekends.
Four times a year or so I eat a couple of psiloscybe cubensis and groove into the maze, but you know, my health and resilience being what it is, it's normally a stiff drink at the cocktail hour, and that's it.

I don't consider it recreational drug use really, but I was never honest with my doctors about the amount of Ephedra I was taking. At one point I was taking so much of the stuff I was convulsing. When I finally told my doctor she told that what I was taking was the same as speed. She was really angry with me.

I always tell the truth. Then the docotor starts exagerating it. So I say 3 drinks and the doctor thinks I'm an alcoholic. Who has to have a liver pain. I tell them I smoke crack once or twice and they thinks I'm on drugs all the time. Don't trust me and start with the unsuspecting drug tests. Atleast I think they are starting to belive me!

I tell my p-doc exactly what I am taking and drinking. I just can't lie to him. Our whole relationship is based on trust and honesty. Once I lied to him about drugs I was using and I called him later to tell him that I had lied.

Ouch! Yeah it must feel pretty isolating when your doc wont 'listen'. And I've also found (I call them comedians) attempting to decifer the truth you just told them. I move on.

I am... although I'm sure on more than one occasion they've thought I was lying. I don't drink or smoke, I'm not into the dope... they ask me how I do it I co... well not so much on the copeing.
I've not drank more than once/twice a year ever, I've smoke a handful of cigarettes when I was a teenager to see what the big deal was, and I've never done recreational drugs since becoming an adult.
I realized something early on... I'm a fat dude with problems controlling something as rudimentary as eating. Probably not wise for me to mess with something with a higher addiction potential ^_^
