I take 6 prescription pills a day, not counting supplements and weekly injections, and it is not a hassle. I'm sure there are plenty of people who take even more.

I think if it's important enough, you will do it. And if it saves $170 to take separate meds, that's even more incentive. But that's me. I have no safety net—no where to go or anyone to be with if I don't manage things for myself. You have to weigh the risks/benefits and be motivated. You've come a long way, from what I've read. I think you can break that old pattern and be on your way to a more stable life.
