andreas Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hy, this is my first post here,My pdoc has me on 8 meds and i am worried that it is to much.

Does anybody else take this much meds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPBear Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi and Welcome to the board. I take 5 different meds every day to control my BP. The way I look at it is if it's working why mess with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdjeff Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have more than just MI problems but I take nearly twice as many. I know it seems like a lot but if it work then it works. If you do feel to many side effects, talk to your pdoc. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I always feel odd when noone replies. I have several threads out without responses. Must I conclude that I am a thread killer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
