    Daily:
    Fish oil (1 pill at breakfast, 1 pill at lunch)-I can't remember the dose. It's a big horse pill.

    When I remember:
    One a Day Women's multi
    Magnesium Oxide 500mg (never daily--it can cause diarrhea--lol)
    I don't take the magnesium and multi in the same day as the multi has a small dose of magnesium in it.
    D vitamin-Whenever I think I need it, mostly in the winter.

    When I need an energy boost, I take an Emergen-C packet or a B-Complex.

    No other meds. Only Ibuprofin if needed for a headache or menstrual cramps.

    Ok Cheddar - you are my true inspiration. I have just started this journey this past weekend. I am currently taking 10 different prescriptions for hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure and 1 for depression. I need to lose 100 pounds (possible 110 pounds). My goal is to come off most if not all of the hypertension meds. I am hoping to come off the diabetic meds also as my blood sugar lowers, but I don't know if that will remain.

    Thanks for the tip on eating the fish over taking the fish oil. I would rather eat better than take ANOTHER pill - even if it is a supplement.

    Mulit-Vit and omega fish oils for breastfeeding mums.
    Mezavent XL for Ulcerative colitis
    Nexplanon

    I wouldn't usually bother with the multi-vitamin, but I notice a difference in my hair and nails so I think I will keep with it indefinitly, plus I have a disease which can affect nutrient absorption. I think also it is good to get Vit D supplements when you live in Scotland.

    I think I am the Un-winner here. That means a take wayyyyyy tooooo many pills/meds for chronic health issues. I just have gotten sick of being sick and tired, so this past weekend I joined MFP and started to take my health and wellness seriously.
    I have 13 prescriptions and 3 over the counters.

    So here goes:

    hydrazaline - blood pressure ( 2x day)
    clonidine - blood pressure (1x day)
    amlodipine - blood pressure (1x day)
    lisinopril - blood pressure (1x day)
    losartan - blood pressure (1x day)
    coreg - blood pressure (2x day)
    metformin - diabetes (2x day)
    glimiperide - diabetes (3 pills 1xday)
    k-chlor - potassium replenish (1xday)
    lasix- chf - (1 or 2 day depending on need)
    venefexaline - depression (1xday)
    Levemir - insulin - 50 units at night injection
    fiber tablet (1xday)
    women's 50+ multi - (1xday)
    chromium picolinate - otc for blood sugar (1xday)
    Crestor - cholesterol - (1xday)

    naproxin sodium - for pain relief - PRN

    This does not include any iron i.v. infusions I may have to get from time to time at the chemo clinic due to severe anemia. My hematologist said that taking an oral Iron supplement would not help.

    None. And I'll do my best to keep it that way for as long as I possibly can.

    I have multiple chronic medical conditions, so I have quite the list - especially for someone my age:

    Non-pill medications:
    Advair 250/50 (bump up to 500/50 when in a bad flare up) - asthma medication
    Albuterol - asthma medication

    Pill form:
    Detrol LA 4mg 1/day - overactive bladder
    Cymbalta 90mg/day - depression/anxiety
    Protonix 20mg, 2/day - heartburn/GERD
    Ferrous Sulfate 325mg - Iron deficiency (1/evening)
    Costco brand Muti-vitamin
    Orthonovum - birth control
    Vitamin D - 2000 IUs daily
    Trazodone - 100mg to 200mg 1/day (depression)
    Ambien - 5mg as needed (once every couple of months)
    Flaxseed oil (Omega 3s)
    Calcium Citrate 500mg 1/morning
    Singular - 10mg, 1/day (exercise-induced asthma prevention)

    I feel like I'm forgetting something, but I think I've got most of my pills.

    I'm hoping that when I reach my goal weight I'll be able to reduce my heartburn meds, at least.

    Some of you take quite a lot! I take:

    10mg Paxil
    Birth control :P
    Multivitamin for Women
    Fiber Advance gummies.

    ETA I also take 6mg melatonin when I can't sleep.

    And yes, while I agree that you shouldn't need a multi if you're eating right, not everyone is 100percent all the time, and ladies, if you're taking an oral contraceptive you should be taking a multi :)

    I have met a lot of men who take prenatals, believe it or not.

    I don't blame you, they are amazing for your hair, skin, and nails.
