Who takes the most meds??????

Sat, January 30, 2010 1:00 AM

I've been reading this forum for several months now and thought it might be interesting (don't think I could call it fun) to see how many meds everyone takes. They winner gets bragging rights and everyone's sympathy .

Here is my current list.

6 Colazal
2 hyosciamine
2 6mp
12.5 mg pred and weaning
Humira every 2 weeks
Rowasa as needed
1 Metformin for blood sugar issues from the pred.
VSL probiotic
Oh, and I just finished an antibotic for a sinus infection yesterday.

4 Apriso
2 Entocort
2 Metoprolol (for SVT caused by Entocort)
1 Ambien (for Entocort related insomnia)
1 Levsin sublingual PRN
3 probiotics
1 multivitamin
2 calcium + vitamin D
2 vitamin C
1 bc (non-IBD related)

I went from taking 1 bc pill in the morning to all of that above in August (But 3 Entocort then), quite a lifestyle change! Cant wait to be off the Entocort, and perhaps drop the metoprolol and ambien as well! They know me well at the pharmacy!
