In reply to How many meds do U take? Me-alot-freaking out!, posted by Janelle on March 29, 2003, at 14:09:20
Hi Janelle,
I'm a little freaked out too by all the meds I must take. I won't go into the entire list here but I thought it might be supportive to let you know you're not alone. I take 3 ADs, Ambien, Ativan, Strattera, 3 blood pressure meds, 4 pain meds, insulin and testosterone.
Seeing your post has motivated me to work with my docs to see if we can 'streamline' (eliminate anything).
Hang in there,
Antonio
> I've been on these meds for months now, well, one was added a few weeks ago, and suddenly I'm freaking out about how *many* I take - 7 - and two of these are repeats in am and pm, so I guess it's more like 5 DIFFERENT meds. Even my pdoc observed last visit that I'm taking "low doses of many meds" and he wants to streamline (reduce) if possible.
