It depends: It depends on what kind of medications you are suggesting for yourself, and i don't know what those are. Generally there can be a discussion of the benefits you are or aren't experiencing, along with some options to improve your results as needed. If you're asking for habituating or intoxicating substances, this might make any doctor "testy" -- mental clarity is a worthy thing to protect.
