Doctors Use Of Drug Tests

Michele Says:
I distrust my Primary Care Doctor. I believe he is controlling, suspicious and lacks common sense. Here's why! There are two Doctors in this practice and sometimes you don't get the Doctor you requested. Dr. Bad (alias) takes a urine sample from all his patients and sends it to a lab. He also runs a report that shows what prescriptions you've been getting and from what Doctors. The other Dr. Good does none of these things as standard operating procedure. So far Dr. Bad is not doing anything wrong except creating an air of mistrust in my mind. On a monthly visit Dr. Good started me a prescription for Desipramine, an antidepressant. A few months later I saw Dr. Bad, he changed a bunch of medicines and in the process discontinued Desipramine. I kept taking the antidepressant, not to defy my Doctor, I just don't remember him taking me off of it. I saw Dr. Bad the next month where it came to my attention he had discontinued Desipramine then had another drug screen. The month after that he puts "Antidepressant Abuse" as my diagnosis because Desipramine showed up in my system. Dr. Bad says he told me to stop the medicine. I say it was miscommunication, there is no history or intent to abuse this medicine. My last drug screen was fine. What do you think? Anyone have the same experience? Am I letting this bother me too much?

I would forget about it. it sounds as if you explained yourself and you did a good drug screen afterward. if you still finding difficulty you could just go to another clinic since none of your drugs are controlled. Another option would be to go through your local mental health center.
