If my pdoc was to ask me how I'm feeling about the meds or if I noticed anything change since starting them, that would be fine. If they were to just ask me if I was TAKING them, I would be annoyed. If they listen to me properly they would know that I'm not the sort of person who wouldn't follow the instructions, and if they treated me like I child through their questioning I would in fact be angry with them. It would be accurate and understandable if they were to ask me if I had had any OD's, or about side effects. But the simply ask me if I was TAKING them? That wouldn't be appropriate for me as I have not ever demonstrated that particular trait - I'm a by-the-books sort of person and I am very concerned with being responsible.
