absolutely. it's better to be honest than not especially if it's medications that he doesn't know that you took and if they're medications that he doesn't think that you need prescribe for yourself. this is very common today with people sharing their medications. once again that's why we have doctors and healthcare providers and pharmacists. we study these subjects we study conditions how drugs work drugs are safe when used correctly. but if you're going to actually take a medication that wasn't intended for you there is a good chance you could end up in the emergency room. you don't know what is being treated – what you are being treated for -- you don't know if you're going to have an allergic reaction to it. you might think well it's just -- i have some flu so i'm going to take my friend's water pill. well your blood pressure could drop so low that you can actually pass out and hit your head and it could have been because of that. so it's really important that people don't share their medications. be honest with your physician and say look this is what happened promise that you'll never do it again. and keep a medication list of all your medicines that you should be taking along with your vitamin and otcs and just be honest.
