A handful.

Movie scriptwriter takes just a handful of drugs.  :hmm:



Doesn't quite have the ring of truth to me.  :P

Don't let the avatar fool you - you're responding to Wags, not Celedhring.

Stupid lack of imagination from some posters ruins my poor joke.  :mad:


Maybe if Celedh. used some drugs, he'd be even more successful?*






* rhetorical, as you're the last person I'd ask that question of.  :P

Man I keep trying to get into taking fish oil. Just can never seem to get into the habit. Like doing mouth wash.

So swap it around, drink mouthwash and regularly swill-out with fish oil.  :cool:

What is the point of taking fish oil?

To answer the thread, nothing except rogaine ( :( ). Also, if we are considering fish oil a drug, I guess I should include protein powder. In both the case of rogaine and protein powder, a glance at me will reveal neither seems to be very effective.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Bacopa monnieri, some herbal bullshit that's supposed to make you smarter.

I was on Zoloft for about 2 years but recently stopped because it was making me fat.

Inspired by CdM's suicide thread - and I dont mean painkillers unless you are always on them.

For me:

- an anti-heartburn pill in the morning
- an anti-IBS (aka regular shitting) pill in the morning, at noon and in the evening
- a pill to reduce heart rate (thus making it easier to fall asleep) in the evening

And no, this is not a "humble brag" either.

Oh, look at the fancy boy who can afford medication!! :P


Anyway I take Omeprazole for acid reflux and Pentasa for my Crohn's.

For supplements, I take Vitamin D, Iron and Vitamin C.

An immuno-suppressant drug that's used in cancer treatment, but for reasons no doctor really understands also helps arthritis which is why I take it and a supplement that you need to take with it. Once a week.

Cod liver oil. Daily.

Awww, didn't know about Crohn's. It sucks. IBS is like a younger (and much more benign) cousin. :console:

In the morning, I take:

a blood pressure med,
an anti-depressant,
2 diabetes meds,
a med for acid reflux, and
an aspirin (the doctor has me taking one a day to help prevent strokes)

At night, I take the blood pressure med again, and a cholesterol med.

Monoriu

I take Nexium, which is an ulcer drug. 

I am also semi-addicted to panadol.
