How many prescriptions do you take?

[peeonme]

How many prescriptions do you take? Without naming them (unless you want) can you give a number and maybe your age?

I will be 66 soon and take five, along with a multi vitamin and fish oil capsules. 2 years ago I only took one.

 

[Thad1527]

Zero. But I am in pharmacies all the time as I take pharmacy inventories for a living.
And I'm 63 and in deep denial about that number. Except that I am semi-retired; I work only a few days a week.

 

[TickTockMan]

I am 36 and take about 20 pills a day. Down from 40 a few months ago.

 

[gsdx]

1 at once per week
4 at once per day
1 at 2 tablets twice a day

I also take each morning:
1x500 mg Calcium carbonate
1x1200 mg Omega 3.6.9 (twice a day)
1x1000 mcg vitamin D3
1x1000 mcg vitamin B12
1 partridge in a pear tree (weight and size vary)

 

[BillyT]

I am 62 and take 13 prescriptions and 6 supplements.

 

[johaninsc]

1 injection (15 units) of Levemir once a day ( using a pen)
1 injection( 3 units) of Humalog before each meal ( drawing out of a vial now, but will be switching to a Novalog pen soon)
1 vitamin D daily
just started this 2 months ago...it's not so bad

and I've been taking 1 multivitamin and a coated aspirin daily for years

 

[Telstra]

Not taking any prescription.
I'm happy for this.

 

[Rickrock]

I am 72 going on 73 and I take 3 prescription pills daily, plus prescription eye drops daily, plus 1 probiotic and 1 magnesium. I also take a vitamin C whenever I think I might be getting a cold, and I take MiraLax once a day and another half once a day.

 

[Daximus]

40yo and I take one 100mg Atenolol each morning for blood pressure.

 

[NotHardUp1]

None. I suspect that won't last. But the side effects must be less odious than the condition.

 

[rareboy]

I've had one for 30 years now.

Two others for more than a decade.

One for about 5 years.

 

[MakeDigitalLove]

3 because of Asthma all my life.

I told my doctors to cut me down and they did. Funny thing was they all bitched I took too many pills. I always thought mother fuckers I get them from you.

Currently 9 a day are Gabapentin.

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

I'm on no medication. Viagra, Truvada and anti-psychotics should do the trick.

 

[Georgiadude]

I take 8 medications daily.
