Red face vitamins and supplements..do you take them?

vitamins and supplements..do you take them?
I have been looking at my medicine cabinet and I have acquired a lot of bottles.
I have reasons for taking all of them...this is what I take:

AM:
Geodon 80mg
lamictal 100mg
lithium orotate 240mg
black cohosh 80mg
Digestive enzyme
vitamin d3 5000units
Calcium 500mg
vit C 1000mg
Coq 10 100mg
fish oils 3caps
muti vitamin

That is 15 pills!

PM:
Geodon 80mg
lamictal 200mg
klonipin .5mg
lithium orotate 240mg
black cohosh 80mg
probiotic
magnesium oxide 1000mg
taurine 1000mg
trytophan 1000mg
GABA 1500mg

That is 13 pills for a daily total of 28 pills.

How do I go on vacation and take all of these pills for 2 weeks?
I will have to bring a bag for all of my bottles.


What do you think?

Take all the ones you need.

You can make room for them.

Certainly take extras of the prescription pills.


It is all going to work out.

You could try putting individual am and pm doses in their own sandwich baggies… no bottles.

If you are leaving the country on this vacation, all RX medications have to be in their orig labeled bottles. Best to put the RX ones in your purse. You can get duplicate labels from your pharmacy and put only that days supply during the vacation in each one leaving the back up ones at home.

You can mostly skip the supplements, for the trip. It will show you if they are working at all when you do a temporary stop.
Only the Vit C is a worry. You can taper down off that for several days, to avoid a rebound scurvy. Vit C tends to make a dependency in people using high doses. Or you can buy a small bottle when you get "there".

Thank you Mrs. D.
We are not leaving the country just driving north 1,000 miles. I guess I could just bring my rx ones like you say and give myself a break, that is what I have done in the past.
I don't even know if the new ones that I take, the lithium or the amino acids are helping anyway.
I have taken them a month now, at least.
I definately think the black kohosh is helping.
