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.
Nothing. Hating taking meds.
I used to take psychotropics for my ADD and I eventually discovered they made me sterile. Man I would have had so much less to worry about in my younger years if I had known that.

No...I suppose with IBS involved it wouldn't be.
None.
None.
Nothin regularly, but I keep a emergency inhaler with me in the summer. Haven't had an attack in years, but the whole not breathing thing sucks, so I keep it around just in case.

Nada though I'm considering whether or not to take up PrEP

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

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.
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.

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:

Insulin. Some other stuff that I'll stop taking when I get home.
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.
I take Nexium, which is an ulcer drug.
I am also semi-addicted to panadol.
None. I'm indestructible.

Cod liver oil. Daily.
Methotrexate and Folic Acid? You have auto-immune arthritis. The MTX stops you from attacking you, hence why it's also used in cancer. The Folate is to prevent red blood cell damage from the MTX.
He's on daily methotrexate?
Contraceptive pill and antihistamine.
