Completely honest. If not, I'm spinning my wheels and wasting my money. He can't effectively help me if I'm hiding things or lying about things.

I have always "presented well", which can be a handicap when dealing with the issues I most need to discuss, but don't want to for whatever reason. I don't lie when I'm asked directly, but I don't volunteer anything. Which is stupid, because pdocs and NPs are there to help, not harm.

How honest... or dishonest... can one be in 10 minutes every 3 or 4 months?

With Pdoc I am 100% honest and upfront about my meds and if they are working or not. My T is in the same office so if something is (me) not doing well my T talks to Pdoc and we come up with a plan. My Pdoc is not a " you need to come in and pay for a visit" before I help you kinda guy ! ( thank god)

My Pdoc is the med guy. He's isn't the " talky type " and that's fine by me, I have a T

I don't understand not being honest when your paying someone to help you???

Trust me there is nothing that your Pdoc hasn't heard before.

I withhold information.

I don't know if that's dishonest or not, but now I'm going to be thinking about it all night!

I am honest with my pdoc. But I do not tell him everything at once. I wait until the opportunity comes up. Lying never leads to anything beneficial for my MI.

Pdoc gets it all...I want to feel better and honestly I want a magic pill...I know it's not out there but as far as meds go I'm not holding back. With T I try not to forget anything but we do get off track sometimes.
