" Actual prescribed meds, three.....I just went off Lithium.....I now take Wellbutrin, Abilify, and Ativan for anxiety when needed. My doc is real careful about prescribing too much. I dont think I have ever been on more than three.

I take supplements....vitamin D, vitamin B complex, omega three, calcium complex, folic acid, meds for osteoporosis and bone strengthening (cant remember name) and a few other things, oh and, Probiotics Plus to help aid in the digestion of the meds so I dont get bloated. Makes a huge difference for me. "
