20 pills a day and one med once a week. 5 different meds addressing the same condition, but differing aspects.

Used to take blood pressure meds but since losing weight, no longer needed. As of now, no medication. Just a multivitamin and vitamin D supplement.

Used to take stuff for anxiety and depression, but none of it really worked and I didn't like how it made me feel. Welbutrin, Ativan, etc.

No medications of any kind. Just Vietnam C Gummies is the only thing I'm taking everyday.

Vitamin D, triglyceride meds to lower cholesterol, Zoloft for depression, and lubricating eye drops, if that counts as medication.

Nope. Only when I have a bad headache or some annoying allergic reaction. I should probably pop some more vitamins than I do..

Yeah.

Post stroke Jan 2021 I’m on statins, advil, a blood thinner, and also a beta blocker for unusually fast heart rate (my resting is usually high 90s to low 100s). Doctor tells me I probably don’t need them, but as I’m a stroke survivor it’s precautionary. Also on chronic opiates that I’ve been on for 25+ years now for chronic illness that causes me pretty bad nerve pain.

All health considerations given though, I think I’m getting off fairly easy pill wise, at least compared to some in here (20!).

I tried taking Prozac for depression/anxiety but within a week I felt extremely disconnected from myself, almost like a numb tranquilized feeling, but I had no care or motivation to do anything so I stopped. I think it’s recommended to keep pushing through it for a few weeks to see if you adjust but I could not stand to feel that way for any longer. Now to try a different one and hope for the best.

Elvanse, a methamphetamine derivative, for ADHD during workdays, weekends off to prevent tolerance. Also need to check yearly for a week to make sure my blood pressure doesn't rise up because of it. So far so good.

Oh, and multivitamins every morning. Unrelated to the above.

Yes, I do. But I'd rather not list them all.

I'm blessed to have not yet reached the point where I need medication.

I just take certain vitamins (D, E), fish oil, ubiquinol, some others. I'm not looking forward to old age, but we'll do what we need to do when we come to it. Hang in there, everyone.

I'm at the age where I have a pillbox. One of my weekly rituals is refilling it at the end of the week. So far I take 7 prescriptions not counting an infusion I get every 6 months. Thankfully my insurance covers them.

Lol, no!

Keep them under my tongue, don't I.

Spit them out and hide 'em among the peas and carrots and no one's any the wiser ;D

No, but my wife think I'm undiagnosed a.d.d. has suggested I get on Vyvanse or Adderall but I don't want to be on anything so refuse to go.
