I take so many meds that my pill caddie looks like a Rubik's Cube!

2 on a regular basis - what my wife & I refer to as my nutter pills & my death pills -

Nutter pills = Citalopram (anti-depressants, mild dose)

Death pills = Avorvastatin (stops my blood becoming treacle)

Also, when needed, Sumatriptan for migraine (tricky ones these - if you take them too early, they don't work; if you take them too late, they don't work)

[edit]

Is there a drug available which enables you to spell 'prescription' correctly?

I think my monthly copay is $2.00. If in the UK the charge is the same for all drugs then I expect the British govt is in fact making a profit off you.

Simvastatins didn't work for me, count kept hitting 8+ so GP put me on the pricey ones & now I'm down to just over 4 (despite my exclusively lard sandwich, cigarette, beer & black pudding diet)

Three times is a charm, but it's as far I can go. A forth dose is supposed to be lethal. But with Alzheimer's, who could tell the difference?

Nevermind, you corrected most of it, if I close one eye and wear a patch over the other I can't see the remaining typo.

Heartburn meds.....sigh

But at least I got off the harsher ones and supposedly the ones I'm on are not quite so bad on the body. 

You people that can eat anything you like without heartburn don't know how good you have it.  Enjoy!

Perhaps alll you need is stronger prescription glasses, just because you've overlooked a typo it doesn't mean that everyone will.

Well, this is a cut and paste of the title thread: Prescription Drugs: Do you take any?  Perhaps dr wu can give you a discount. Or charge double for a difficult case.
