Do you take a lot of prescription medications?

[PGS28]

I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago so I was taking 3 medications but as of yesterday I'm only taking 2.

Right now I'm taking a steroid injection for the next 4 days. I'll be back on the baclofen for spasticity. I'm considering going back to the multiple sclerosis therapy I've been taking. It's another shot, but my doc is willing to give me a new prescription for a 3 times a week instead of daily injection. Oh I forgot the occasional Zanax for anxiety. Bleah! I've never had to take many medications before the ms diagnosis (2005).

I envy you with only one medication.  I use to look at my elders and wonder at the number of pills they took and here I am now in my 70s and have a full pill container.  I look at it that science has provided the medications that make our lives fruitful for more years.

Personally I take one for my arthritis pain and that is it and I am over 65.  My husband who is also over 65 takes several medications seven medications to be exact so I feel like I must be doing something right. How about you?

I consider myself lucky.At 60, I am only on blood pressure .Just 1 pill a day.I do take vitamins. Calcuim, B12,E and sometimes potassium. Hopefully, that will not change. BMaston12

I don't take any prescription meds.  I take a whole aspirin each day because of the stint & coiling in my brain.  My husband takes multiple prescriptions multiple times a day.

I am taking zero prescription pills at 61, but my husband only takes two.

I was in the ER last week which resulted in three new meds.  I'm done with those now but do have two ointments and a pill  - all twice a day.
