allison:

i too wonder if i should tell my boss. but this would be for pragmatic reasons:
* i have noticeable behaviour alterations when i am medicated vs. unmedicated, also mood swings
* the medications make me very tired sometimes, altering my productivity
* the inconvenient to schedule medical appointments (which until now i just say are "doctors appointments")

we are a small workplace so the behaviour, mood swings, and fatigue are noticeable. i would prefer to explain my behaviour in the context of a medical problem i am treating, instead of having it bite me in the butt as a personality flaw during a performance review.

the other posters were very eloquent about not telling the boss to find support/friendship/kindred spirits. but when does pragmatism dictate that you tell?
