Your pdoc can't help you unless he/she knows what you are taking. if you don't tell them you are putting them in a place where they can't make what might be an easy adjustment to help you. And honestly, not being told is the most frustrating thing when you are treating someone. I remember a patient who stopped her blood pressure med and didn't tell me. I was getting really worried and even had her referred to a cardiologist because her blood pressure was really messed up. Then the social worker told me that she'd stopped the med 2 weeks ago. I was livid because I could have accidentally killed her but if I'd known about the med I could have monitored and kept her safer.
Plus, you need medications that are working and keeping you from being suicidal and going through that again. If what they gave you isn't that then they need to know so they can figure out something else.
Some/many pdocs would dump you for a lie as big as taking 2 meds you aren't while on commitment and then you're really stuck.
So for many reasons, yes, please tell.
