Hopefully you already do this, but it is crucial that all of your doctors know all of your diagnoses and any temporary medical issues, as well as all medications you're taking. I, personally, call my psychiatrist whenever any other doctor prescribes a new medication. Also, it's best that you're pharmacist know this. I don't know about yours, but every time I get meds filled at the pharmacy they ask if you have any questions. If it's a new med, ask some like what the side effects might be and if they see any possible drug interactions possible. I have to remind pharmacist's of all my medications since my brick and mortar pharmacy only fills some. I get many others through mail order pharmacy. Generally pharmacist's are pretty knowledgeable about issues like meds (even OTC ones) that are I'll advised for various conditions.

There have been times when I have consulted with my pharmacist on things for a second opinion on issues I felt we're not addressed by a doctor, or ones I challenged.
