I just had my initial blood test for informed consent HRT. I have in the past couple days taken some Ritalin that I am not prescribed (I know this is a bad idea I'm not going to do it again! ). I want to tell my Informed consent doc but I want to know first if they will deny me hormones if they know that I did this... if it doesn't affect my levels I guess I'd be fine not telling anyone but I want to be open with my doc... help please!
By "levels" I mean the stuff in the initial test, T levels, Prolactin, CMP, lipid panel, TSH
Hi there! I'd love a name to use rather than Aaaaa29! :laugh:
Welcome to Susan's Place! That should not matter, but for the love of everything good, don't hold back information about medications from your doctor, That is dangerous, and foolish. As is self medicating, whether with hormones or drugs. Be smart, stay alive. :)
Hugs, Devlyn

Thanks, Laurie ;). For the OP, by all means tell your doctor. He has to be your ally in this and if you discuss WHY you took the Ritalin, maybe he will even see something else that needs to be addressed and help you there. You need to trust him and he needs to know he can trust you. Toni
