They seem to always ask about this, especially prior to oral surgery, and I don't like having to disclose. I used to write down what I took, but my dental hygienist saw the lamictal and thought I had a seizure disorder. I didn't correct her and say it was for bipolar, but then it became a thing where she would talk about epilepsy every time I had my teeth cleaned.

I stopped taking medication altogether at one point and told her when she asked (as she always did, to keep the chart current). It confused her, and the whole thing was awkward. Now that I may start taking meds again, and have an upcoming dental appointment, I'm wondering if it's just okay not to mention it.

Anyone have thoughts on this?
