I just realized I voted wrong. I should have put 11+. I forgot about 3 I take. Sorry.

I chose 1-3, but two aren't daily meds. BC is my only daily. Xanax and Ambien are as needed.

Usually between 8-10. Depending on how bad my anxiety gets, sometimes it goes up to 11+.

I voted 4 to 7 because that is most correct I think... or not.
The meds I sort of have to take are 1 + 1.5 + 2. If I take the max allowed I take 1 + 1.5 + 4 + 1. That is 7.5...

But then if I had been prescribed the stronger xanax I would have taken a half instead of 2 and 1 instead of 4.

I didn't add in vitamins because I forget to take them for long periods of time and not painkillers because they are just now and then. Also many days I take a zantac as well. And sometimes I also another med as well, half or one pill but I prefer not to. So maybe I should have voted more than 7? Heck if I know, LOL.

Including vitamins, which are prescribed for me, I take:
Vit D 1, Vit E 1, Fish Oil 1, Folic Acid 2, Multivitamin 1, atenolol 1, Abilify 2, Buspar 3, Cymbalta 2, Docusate 2, Singulair 1, Prilosec 1, Prazosin 1, Requip 1. That is 20 pills daily. I didn't include my PRNs.

I am hoping to try and reduce some of my psych meds in April when I see my pdoc again.

A semi normal day could look like this:

1.5 pill luvox (always daily)
0.5 pill ritalin
3 pills xanax (at least 1 or 2 daily)
1 pill zantac
1 pill synthroid (always daily)

If I add vitamins that is 1 tab of multi and 2 pills of D.
