I trust my pdoc not to prescribe me meds I don't want, though, if I became psychotic, with paranoid, persecutory or grandiose delusions, I am sure he would advocate them strongly. I try to be honest with him about when I've gone of meds, though it wont be enjoyable telling him I went off them for a week. I promised him I would tell him if I wanted to quit meds so that we could discuss it. In this case it was a negative response to depression and I am back on them, with some of the original, very unpleasant side effects. I guess that is a reminder why I should be on them. I trust my pdoc almost implicitly and will tell him almost anything, except if I am an immediate danger to myself. I will lie to avoid being hospitalized again and I believe suicide is a right. I would probably admit to ideation without intent though.
