Do you take a lot of prescription medications?

[jcalexis]

I don't usually take prescription medication. I get natural medicine from a natural food store.

10 different scripts a day. 3 for diabetes, 2 for blood pressure, 1 for nerve damage, 1 for arthritis, 1 for potassium, 1 for acid reflux and 1 for pain relief. Some I take once a day and some more.

I have two prescription medications.  One for high blood pressure and one for depression.  My dad is in his 80's and he takes no prescription medications.  Never did.  All he takes is a baby aspirin once a day and he is as healthy as can be.  He's very lucky.

I don't take any prescriptions and hope I never will.  I take vitamins and supplements though.

I take two medications.  One is a medication for arthritis.  The second medication is for pain in my feet.

As of right now I don't take any prescription meds, but I do take several kinds of supplements.

No, I do not take too many prescription medications. Most of my prescription medications are for everyday allergies. At the moment, I only take one prescription pill and two prescribed nasal sprays.

No way. I try to stay away from taking meds if I dont have to. Pain meds lead both my brothers to other bad choices in life that they scare me!

It is the strong pain killers that people don't need to start with that gets people addicted.  You cannot give people oxycotton for 2 weeks then just yank it away from them.  I know what you mean though.  A lot of people get messed up just from the hydros doctors love to give for every little sniffle.  I know a dentist who will give them for pulling a tooth.  Heck, they told me you will be fine if you need something take Tylenol.  lol.   And he girl took the hydros home and crushed and snorted.

Fortunately I don't take any.  Only thing I take regularly is a multivitamin every day, and magnesium capsules to help with muscle spasms I get from working out.
