Do suppositories count? Don't worry I was just checking.

I don't have the energy to type all of them. Between my Lupus and BP, currently should be taking 12 perscriptions a day. I depend on samples and buy what I can afford, no insurance, so I'm rarely fully medicated.

This is pathetic, but I bet I can top you all:

Xanax
Zyprexa
Paxil
Xyzal
Combivent
Metfornin
Singulair
Protonix
Advair
Albuterol
Duoneb
Synthroid
Lo Ovral
And for supplements:
Probiotics
Calcium
Digestive enzymes
Quercetan
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12
Omega fish oil

As you can see, between being bipolar, having asthma, anxiety, hypothyroidism, and polycystic ovarian sydrome and irritable bowel syndrome I take a lot of pills. It's a lot to keep track of and very expensive, but what are you going to do?

deleted_user 07/09/2008

I have no doubt I take the most..working though.

deleted_user 07/09/2008

I take 5
zoloft
klonopin
topamax
buspar
atenolol (for my heart)

But it is interesting to hear the comments from those who are jaded and say they refuse to be experimented on by the drug companies, as if those of us who do take the drugs are just like lab rats....sorry if you haven't found the right mix of drugs...it took me 10+ years.

I take 5:
2000mgs Depakote
150mgs Seroquel
30mgs Remeron
25mgs Lamictal
4mgs Klonipin

I've have been on 15 different meds for BP, and each had a worse side-effect than the BP did, so they just kept trying a new one. These are the ones that seem to have the least side-effect on me.

All to feel hopeless, depressed, anxious, and suicidal. Yep, helps tons...not

But each time I quit them, I go super manic, which I can't stand. So, I just keep pushing my pdoc for another "magic pill".
