Makes sense. I've certainly forgotten to mention things before. Like, one time I forgot to mention sleep apnea because I was just at the ER for a broken wrist. Expected a couple of x-rays, a sling, an a referral to see an orthopedic surgeon on a weekday, and to be on my way so it just didn't come to mind; I don't think of a cpap as a prescription. Until they were talking about putting me on general anesthesia, so brought it up (without prompting). They switched to ketamine based on that info, so I managed to get out of unnecessarily being put all the way under and got an interesting experience for someone who doesn't really recreationally use drugs. But I scale how much I reveal based on what I deem relevant. But potentially starting a significant new medicine means I'm much more likely to give as much info as possible: even if it were to including admitting to taking something illegally.
I had to re-read that a couple times because I was like "Wouldn't anti-hypertensive just mean the same thing as lowering your blood pressure? How were they wrong?" until I finally stopped glossing over the "make me less hyper" part. Pretty impressive level of misunderstanding of their own medications.
Perhaps. Pretty much all my other medicines were related to the medical conditions I have listed on my chart (which was the thing I was seeing a doctor for in the first appointment), so I can see why they'd be confused at first. Also my hesitation with mentioning the HRT might also bring more attention to it on accident. I did mention I haven't had a consistent pharmacy at the first appointment, so that might have been a red flag too.
