Yes. I guess it was not lying as much as withholding information. The last case was when I reduced my Seroquel XR from 600 mg to 500 mg. That was about three months ago. I did tell him, but not until my next appointment. He told me that I should have called him to let him know so that he had the option to get back to me with any concerns. It wasn't the next appointment after that, but the one following that he raised it by 50 mg to 550 mg. Another instance was a couple years before when I was occasionally taking OTC pseudoephedrine for energy. I knew he didn't want me to take them. Even my pharmacist at the time said that she'd only sell them to me if for my husband, and not me. I lied. Pseudoephedrine is only sold OTC in my state by providing your drivers license to the pharmacist. The reason is because they don't want huge quantities sold to a single person. It can be used to make crystal meth.
Many years before, I had a few cases of stopping my meds on my own, but each time I ended up hospitalized with mania (or mixed mania) and psychosis.
What medication side effect are you most dealing with now, if any?
