Fair warning this is a random and probably pointless thread, but I ask you to humor me.
How many pills do you take per day to keep you healthy? Not how many meds, but how many pills. Include vitamins if you wish. Right now I take 7 prescription pills plus 2 shots of cannabis oil. |

Hmm? Well, 11 psych med pills plus 1 Synthroid, plus 2 Propranolol, plus 1 multi-vitamin= a total of 15 pills to swallow.
Note: I take 7 pills alone for just my Tegretol XR. To make 1400 mg per day I take three 200 mg pills in the morning and four 200 mg pills at night. Tegretol XR doesn't have that many pill dosage options. Plus, I'm on a rather large dose compared to many Tegretol XR users. I used to take more OTC supplements, but over time realized they did nothing, plus taking so many pills was psychologically distressing, especially because at one point 3 years ago I was also taking 2 Lithium pills, 2 Geodon pills, and at one brief point even 1 Navane per day on top of what I take today. Sometimes maybe even 1 more pill depending on my Seroquel XR dose. |

11 I quit some vitamins as it was just too many pills a day, plus vitamins are too big. I should ask for the doc to increase the doses as a couple of meds I take two of the same med. could go down to 9 if I did that. Then I'm thinking of quitting the AP if I do that I can quit two more that I take for side effects. That would bring me down to 6. Quit the aspirin brings me down to 5 4 of which I use to sleep. Hmm hmmm.

I take 3 lithium, one Zyrtec, one celexa, and one atorvistatin just so I don't become a pill. I don't take any vitamins. They all make me nauseous.

Don't be. You can't help that your body doesn't work correctly.
