Zero now for about 2 years, after a long term trial of them I couldn`t see, or feel that any were making a difference except Baclofen when I has a muscle issue.

I take an 81 mg asprin, b 12, d 3, vitamin e and a multi vitamin.

I don't know how you all do it. I am on 15 prescriptions. Some of those, I think 3 are not 'prescriptions' per se but are still prescribed by the doctor, it's jsut that they are all over the counter. I hope if I can get this 75 pounds gone I can get rid of 3 of the blood pressure meds and the diabetic med. I am on 4 blood pressure meds but one was originally for a high heart rate and I would have to stay on that one. But I still have the one for bladder and I guess I might be able to get rid of my stomach pill if I didn't take so much meds.

Default Hi doydie
I just wanted you to know getting off the stomach meds. is possible. I had acid reflux so bad, that I got barretts esophagus. I was put on a heavy dose of delexant for a few years. This med. however prevents the B12 in your body. I started on tumeric, and low and behold, the acid reflux went away. I take alot of medications too, and this suppliment really helped me in a way that I didn't expect. Maybe ask your doctor about this. I also use agee, which is clarified butter, which is soothing and healing in the stomach in place of butter in all cooking, toast, etc. Maybe ask your doc about these two things. It is nice to take less medicaitons! ginnie

Default Prescriptions
I take 4 different prescriptions and one over the counter medication.
It looks like I may be adding more soon though.

I'm on about nine prescriptions (including Copaxone) and about ten supplements. It's a large container in my carry on bag when we travel, lol.

Thanks for answering! Now I don't feel like such a freak with my big bag of meds.
