All in all, I take 19 pills a day, plus the occasional Klonopin or stool softener. (I know, TMI.) Six of them are psych meds ( although I take some of them twice a day) and the others are for thyroid, blood pressure, and various supplements. My pdoc prescribed the thyroid pill himself because my thyroid tests were ever so slightly off---although within normal limits medically---and he says it can help with depression. I think he may be right because I haven't had my usual winter SAD exacerbation this year. It usually starts right after the holidays and goes on until the first cherry blossoms show up, sometimes for a while after.
