Title: What kind of medicine do you take regularly?
Post by: Martinus on August 31, 2016, 11:48:19 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.
