I didn't mean to scold, but it's a serious problem when, for whatever reason, anxiety, fear, distrust, you can't be upfront with your doctor about what you're taking and, when directly asked, you lie (yes, answering a direct question falsely is lying). I mean, maybe you need another doctor whom you trust more. Or maybe you need a therapist who can help mediate things with your doctor. (I had a therapist do this twice).
