I have been on meds for at least 15 years. I have been on most meds that are available to me. I cannot afford the more recent medication due to costs associated with a new drug. My all time high of meds was near the beginning of that time span. I always have been on a handful of meds, which is about five, but it peaked at something like 8 meds including two antidepressants and amphetamine salts as a stimulant. Oh yes, even l-thyroxine was added for good measure. And further I had been on two bentos at the same time, but this was changed to one, and then zero. My cocktail has been simplified once I got over that terrible episode of depression. There was a time that I was not on any benzos, but I can take one now at bed time PRN if I cannot sleep.
