When you go to the doctor/dentist...

[Huge_Brah]

When you go to the doctor or dentist, and they ask you 'what medication you're taking'. Do you write down what you are taking or do you keep it secret? Just curious as to what you guys do.

I do not write that down. The only time I have ever told my doc what I was taking was when I went in for blood tests to see if my levels came back.

Do you want your insurance company to deny you coverage should any medical issues arise (if you live in the us)?
If so, then disclose all you want.

Oh ok. Because I was thinking, if you're taking some gear then he prescribes something for some reason, how do you know how the gear and what he prescribed interact with one another. Anyway thanks for the replies.

Beacause these aren't blood thinners or narcotics we're taking here. Sex hormones have very few direct interactions with other meds (and nothing really serious or acute).
The only concern I'd possibly have would be if I were using Tbol, since it slows blood clotting. But even then, I'd hope that they'd do a blood test to check for any clotting abnormalities before any procedure where additional bleeding would be a bigger deal than "grab me an extra gauze pad, would you?".

I don't say anything unless it's directly related to the reason I'm at the Dr.

If you tell the doc you're on AAS and the doc doesn't report it to the insurance company, the doc's liable. To save his own skin he'll have to report your AAS use. In the future, say in 10 years, you get cancer the insurance company will say "it's caused by his AAS usage." Done, no insurance coverage. No other insurance company will cover you because you now have a pre-existing condition. Keep your use a secret.
