Adnama Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Fun survey time! *holds up a sign that says "Clap and cheer"* So just out of random curiosity, how many meds does the average member of our quiant little community here take? [Which ones, how much ect as well if you want] Then, how many physical pills does that translate into? I guess I just wonder how many pills it takes to shut us up for awhile. Mention weather or not your coctail is working too. ----------------- Ok, so let me think here, remeron, depakote, klonopin, topamax, provigial, wellbutrian, effexor. I -think- that's all. They should all be in my sig. But that dopamax does a number on my memory. 3 depakote+2 remeron+1 klonopin+1 topamax+1 provigial+ 1 wellbutrain+1 effexor= 10 *holds up "clap and cheer" sign again* And as of now I'm seeing my doc once a week and we're tweeking things back and forth and it'll start to work and then I'll stumble and end up on my face in the dirt again untill the next appointment. Sigh. I have two of those day of the week pill box things, pink one for the morning and purple one for night, and a big plastic box ontop of my frige for all my meds. Every sunday evening I sit down with all my meds and very carfuly refill my pill boxes. Lately I'm always afraid i'm taking the wrong amount of something. Someone needs to make a smily that's like... surrounded by pill bottles and looks all stressed out or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sepia Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 15-18. Guess I'm a lightweight on this board! If anyone here starts trying to take additional medications for the express puposed of joining the Overmedicated Cool Kids Club, I shall beat them about the head and assimilate them into the Collective. The Collective is perfection. Like Scientologists, we need no drugs. Put THAT horror in your pipe and smoke it! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!! Sorry about that. I know you weren't going for that, Rabbit (I my Rabbit!), but sometimes I feel the urge to make nonsensical public service announcements. The least medication possible for the greatest benefit. If you can get by on one Lexapro a day, I am jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonflavor Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I really wonder what they think of me at the pharmacy. And there always seems to be a problem - something doesn't have refills when it should, wrong size etc etc. I'm always switching trying to find what works so they must have about 10 drugs for me in their system. Lexapro Clomipramine (am I the only one on this?) Remeron Risperdal Ativan Propranolol Bs with C Magnesium Fiber Fish Oil Cholesterol Statin Occasional Benadryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I used to be on a lot but not so much now Was: 6 depakote 2 wellbutrin 2 celexa 4 perphenazine 1 clonazepam 1 trazodone 2 omega 3-6-9 2 glucosamine sulphate and chondriton 1 B complex plus C Now minuw the depakote and celexa and trazodone. Increased the perphenazine, but that means less pills because they are bigger. And added amitriptyline Ameth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechante Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Four lithium Two lamictal One lexapro One risperdal Two clonazepam One trazodone = 11 pills not too bad. we've recently cut back on the dosages of some of them, so that's helped. but i still feel like, for me, six different meds is ridiculous.

Tomboy Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'm not bipolar. Can I chime in anyway? 4 glucophage 1 adderall 1/2 naltrexone 5 clonidine Thats 10 and a half, I guess. 4 months ago I had no meds at all. I also hadn't been to see any kind of doc in more than 10 years. So I guess this is some sort of progress. 3 depakote+2 remeron+1 klonopin+1 topamax+1 provigial+ 1 wellbutrain+1 effexor= 10 *holds up "clap and cheer" sign again* This made me think of the final scene in Clue when they're trying to figure out how many bullets are left in the gun.
