Patty,
I have been honest with my current pdoc regarding my alcoholism and past suicide attempts by overdosing. Knowing this helps him steer me clear of meds that may cause me extra problems. He won't prescribe me something I could easily OD on or meds that may cause liver damage in excess of what the alcohol is doing. I think it has been helpful to have been honest with him.
