How Many Prescription Drugs Do You Take?

[johndoe]

I started on number 10 today. It's 50,00 units of vitamin D. I think they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with things I supposedly need. Buried not far from me is one of the original settlers of this valley who was a Revolutionary War soldier with the Connecticut Militia, got captured by Indians, and lived to be 94, all without the benefit of modern medicine. Go figure.

3, minimum dosage of each.

 

[hollydolly]

One which I take every morning... ....... minimum dose...

...and I also have prescription meds to take 'as and when' for my back, and for the osteoarthritis in my hands ..weeks can go by before I need them, I generally just take a the odd paracetamol if the pain is getting me down. I also have asthma inhalers, again, only as and when needed!!

[SeaBreeze]

No prescriptions drugs so far (knock on wood), but I have been using various vitamins and supplements daily for decades now. I take 5.000 IUs of vitamin D3 almost every day, but I buy it myself in the store, it's not doctor prescribed.

 

[Ruthanne]

I take 6 (and another one if my sleep problems get worse) prescribed medicines. I feel better when I take them as opposed to not. I am out of vitamins and should see if I can get them prescribed, too.

 

[Richie]

None, side effects outweigh the benefits, for me anyway, regular doctor visits, and had to stop thinking I was still 21

 

[Keesha]

One for medical marijuana.
