k...I told my doc once that I did that, and she flipped out (but in that freakishly calm, almost icey, psychiatrist kind of way). She just gave me this stare from hell and said "You are no longer on that medication. Throw it away. Do not ever, under any circumstances, take it again." The med she was so concerned about? Neurontin. 900mgs. For insomnia. So...I guess it depends on your doc. In general, shrinks are on the more control-freak, hyper-dominant, micro-management end of things, but there's considerable variation. If its a controlled substance...I'd think *really* long and hard before mentioning it to your doc, but your doc could be much different. Good luck!
