How many pills do you take a day?

1 lisinopril (for high blood pressure) and a multivitamin

I take about 7-9 vitamins a day- Tumeric, Collagen, C, D, K2, Multi, B stress vitamin, Fish Oil- I am missing one or two-

The collagen is 6 pills, so more like 14-15

A LOT.

1 antidepressant

1 multivitamin

2 paracetamol

Six ibuprofen 200mg. Varoius vitamins. Sometimes melatonin.

I drink like a fish and smoke weed too but only twice a week.

In the morning: 8 supplements and 2 additional ones in powder form. Evening: 5.

So a total of 15 - not including 2 scoops of collagen powder as well. So 16.

R7 here - I should qualify - no medications. All supplements and a sleeping aid.

5 including all rx, vitamins, occasional thc edible/viagra

Three pharmaceuticals, one painkiller if needed and a multivitamin/multimineral sometimes.

I take 6 prescription pills every single day.

11 Rx drugs, 8 supplements.

R10 no anti-psychotics? Slpains’ a lot.

One multivitamin

Dolls!

17. Is that bad?

I’m not counting the kratom.

Oh and the weed.

r10 takes poisoned street drugs. 🫖🍰🧵

Five prescriptions, totaling 8 pills. Four supplements, making a total of 12 pills a day. Then add two daily injections and one weekly injection.

It's fucking depressing...

Only 7 Rx. 4 psyche.

What does collagen powder do?

R22, you can mix it in your drinks, it is supposed to be good for your skin and joints

R19 Ho I didn’t make this thread. You see you bring heat and then play dumb. You nasty gutter cunt.

Someone's been taking my lorazepam!

Nothing, and I want to keep it that way as long as possible. I ocassionally use a sleeping pill when I need to resync my body clock after shift work

4 prescriptions right now, hopefully to be reduced soon. All of these medications started after a major heart scare and 9 day hospital stay. Doctors say a respiratory virus I contracted attacked my heart and reduced it to 33% of normal capacity. I had a double heart catheterization last week and the doctors say my heart was in great shape before the attack and is on the way back to 100% soon (if not already). I have an echocardiogram scheduled on Monday and an appointment with one of my heart doctors who will hopefully tell me my heart is doing great, and they'll will let me remove this horrible portable heart defibrillator I've had to wear since leaving hospital. The power pack is as heavy as a brick.

Spironolactone 25mg (1 per day)

Lisinopril 5mg (1 per day)

Furosemide (Lasix) originally 2 40mg tablets daily, now reduced to 2 20mg pills a day

Carvedilol 6.25 mg (twice daily)

How many recreational pills do you take in a day?

Normally 0 but I've had a phlegmy cough I can't shift for the last month so am pretty much a walking dispensary right now

Blood pressure, cholesterol, calcium, and phosphorus for when I need to GLOW.

Not enough.

Four today. Some antihistamines. A Bp med, and a stomach acid med

1 Flomax

Daily: 14 Rx tablets (12 meds, 2 of ‘em twice a day) 3 supplements, a multi-vitamin, and baby aspirin.

Weekly, monthly, and bi-monthly injectable Rx meds. I gave myself 5 shots this past week.

More than I can count.

None and I'm old.

I take 10 per day. 8 Rx, a multivitamin and an Allegra. (I am basically allergic to everything outdoors.)

My mother takes 28 a day. 25 Rx, a baby aspirin, and two supplements (cranberry and Neuriva).

One Rx to control vertigo from an inner ear malfunction.

Then 5 or 6 vitamins and supplements. Multi, omega-3, probiotic etc.

Zippo

1 pill makes you larger and 1 pill makes you small

[quote] and 1 pill makes you small

Oh look. Another Ozempic thread.

if i have a headache, I take 3 advils

"My mother takes 28 a day. 25 Rx, a baby aspirin, and two supplements (cranberry and Neuriva)."

28! That's a lot. I have a friend in geriatric medicine nursing who has talked about this.. some of her patients are so swamped in meds, and it becomes difficult to manage all the potential negative interactions or to know which one or which particular combo might be causing a bad side effect.

Vitamin D3, that's it so far. 71 years old.

I dream of a pill minder. They require good insurance. So far, I don’t take any pills.

None. Zero. Not even vitamins.

3 (age 65)

4 prescribed, 2 supplements.

Vitamin D

I haven't taken anything on a daily basis in decades.

5 prescribed medications daily, two prescribed supplements.

Of course I take dolls! How else do you expect me to get up at 5am and "SPARKLE, Neely, SPARKLE!"?

Keep those fresh jokes coming R51.

1 x prep and some days an acid pill that’s it. Surprised nobody else has mentioned prep yet?

Magnesium: For a while, it did wonders for my mood. Unfortunately, that pretty much went away, but it's also known to increase HDL levels, and my HDL levels are indeed higher.

Omega-3s: Just had a good blood pressure reading after taking them for some time, but who's to say?

Also, Vitamin D and a multivitamin.

3 RXs

Mega Red

Allegra

Vitamin D3

Baby Aspirin

5 Metamucil Capsules

Aren't you folks concerned about pill A interacting with pill B? I know the FDA does a lot of testing, but still. Oh, and I bet DOGE is gutting much of the $$$ for the testing now.

Four multivitamin gummies in the morning and fiber capsules with meals.

Ten Rx medications, some more than once a day. One multivitamin. Two Rx injections a week. 24 tablets/capsules per day.

Ok I'm not proud of this but over 40 I bet. Maybe closer to 50? A few medications for hair and skin (finasteride, minoxidil, low dose accutane), and dementia prophylaxis (cialis of all things), but mostly it's just my supplement based healthy aging regime. It's getting to be a hassle and I'm going triage the list soon I think. Also there's the expense

[quote]Aren't you folks concerned about pill A interacting with pill B?

That's why your doctor(s) always want you to list what medications you're on. If your doctor doesn't catch something, your pharmacy will.

17 vitamins and supplements: 2 multigummies, 6 collagen, 3 calciums, 1 magnesium, 1 zinc, 1 vitamin a, 1 metoprolol, 1 tamsulosin

Oh, and my 1 finasteride. That's the 17 total.

I think it's about 10, roughly half in the morning, half at night. Prozac, baby aspirin. A statin, an antihistamine. 2 BP meds, as many lorazepam as are needed (up to three) Biotin (for hair loss after chemo), coq10, anti stomach acid stuff (the name escapes me), medical stuff is so dull I'm nodding off just typing this : All these pills and nothing fun.

Atorvastatin that keeps me alive. Metoprolol, for the ticker too. And a baby aspirin chaser!

Calcium

Vit C

Turmeric - I heard it's an anti-inflammatory.

OsteoBiFlex for the joints.

Gingko (special kind from New Zealand) which they claim is helpful for the tinnitus, but I am not sure about that... Buzzz!!!

Nexium

Allegra (May/June & Sept/October)

Ambien

no one is taking prep?

Pills?

1.5 zolofts

1.5 melatonins

1 progesterone

collagen if I make a smoothie

sometimes an advil

1 estrogen patch every 4 days

About 7 prescriptions and about 7 supplements a day. Age-related stuff basically - because who knew that hearts and kidneys don't last forever?

Vitamin D, magnesium, melatonin, sometimes Omega 3 and iron every other day.

I'm surprised by all the low-dose aspirin. I thought there was a big shift away from it (not in every case but in most.)

It's not available over the counter in most of Europe and seemingly seldom prescribed by physicians.

Believe it or not, my 102 year old mother is on no medications. Never has been.

I just started taking supplements. Vitamin D, multi-vitamin, and magnesium. I also take collagen-- but that is a powder not a pill.

50 years old and I take none. Should I?

Vitamin D because I had rickets! Fish oil Collagen powder in my coffee 2 Rx—one of which is a sleep aid because I wake up if a neighbor 6 blocks over coughs in his basement.

[quote]Believe it or not, my 102 year old mother is on no medications.

I believe you.

[quote]50 years old and I take none. Should I?

If you've reached 50 without any trouble or needing RX or supplements, that's great. Keep up the good work, that is, unless you've never gotten a checkup.

r73 Almost everyone is deficient in vitamin D, it wouldn't hurt if you got it.

8 vitamins/supplements and one rx pill, usually. Right now my Rx pills are up to 3/day on top of the 8, but I just had oral surgery.

10 total = 3 prescription / 7 vitamins/supplements

Prescriptions:

Atorvastatin 20mg

Escitalopram 10mg

Finasteride 5mg

Vitamins / Supplements:

Glucosamine HCI with MSM

Calcium Citrate Magnesium and Zinc

Super B-Complex

Fish Oil

Zinc

Supper Vitamin C with Vitamin D3

Collagen Peptide Advanced with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C

They added 2 more today.

MethyLPREDNISolone (a steroid) 6 day course

Azithromycin (antibiotic) 5 day course

How many drugs? Just enough to keep the mirrors from cracking.

The five beauty scripts battle Mother Nature with the full force of Big Pharma, and we’re still losing.

Three ED power lifters, and as God is my witness, I’ll never go soft again.

Two sex safety meds keep an old queen like me HIV-negative. It’s a little miracle, and a heartbreak too.

One for sleep, a chemical ceasefire.

And one little yellow pill to calm this mother down, even when I’m not really ill.

I’m in my mid-60s, and if anyone’s keeping track, not a single one of these 12 is for my health. They just keep the shitshow on the road.

Pills. Thrills. Bills.
