How much medication can one body take??
I forgot to mention that I take (live on) Imitrex for my migraines. Along with all of these;
Copaxone
Neurontin
Klonopin
Zanaflex
Elavil
Lortab
Vit D
Magnesium
Vit B12

Wowsers... that's quite a list of medications, and I can understand your concerns about 'how much can one take?'. That does seem like an awful lot of medication. Why can't there be 1 pill to handle everything from the Neurontin to the Lortab (those 5 in order of appearance)? Egads.
Do you feel that any or all of the above help? Were you prescribed through your GP, neurologist, pain specialist, etc?
Everyone's different, so there could be very valid reasons in your case to be on that much medication, or why your doctor(s) believe these to be helpful/necessary... I'm not a fan of medications, but I'm less a fan of pain, spasticity, depression, anxiety etc etc.
