I have a long history of noncompliance with meds my pdoc prescribes. By noncompliance I don't mean I don't take the drugs; I stop them and restart them or change the doseage without consulting him. I don't tell him I'm messing with the meds because I don't want to *bother* him. Even when I feel I'm not doing well and may need a med tweaking, I think I can't possibly be bad enough to warrant a call to him. Usually when I make changes on my own, I regret it. I don't get why I don't learn from these mistakes. The latest go round is I stopped one drug and cut another in half. I see pdoc the week after next and worry about whether to tell him or not. I know how stupid this is but I can't seem to stop this behavior. I don't know what to do. Anyone in the same boat?
