How many pills do you take daily?

[ArachosiA]

No medication, but ever since Covid I started taking lots of vitamins. Everyday I take a multi-vitamin, vitamin D3, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin B12, Calcium, Echinacea, Omega 3, Quercetin and Bromelain. So 12 pills a day. If I feel like I'm coming down with something I will add Elderberry and N-Acetyl Cysteine to the list.

I really don't want to catch Covid, but I'm doing everything I can to ensure my immune system is in tip-top shape in case I do. In addition to the vitamins, I'm also eating healthy foods, exercising daily, and getting plenty of sleep and sunshine.

I opened the thread hit the fucking too many poll button and hadn't even thought about vitamins but this thread is full of people telling us they take vitamins.

 

[JohnHornbuckle]

Two blood pressure pills. One cholesterol. One anxiety. Another anxiety as needed.

Makes me feel better seeing how common these antidepressants/anxiety medicines are.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Just supplements
4 - 6 caps of fish oil (NutraSea suits me really well)
3 Green pastures cod liver oil, been taking it for a few years

 

[Cloud-Hidden]

I chew up a Flintstones vitamin every morning with my breakfast. Always have, and probably always will.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

A men's vitamin since you mentioned those although I don't really count that as a pill in the traditional sense. Nothing else.

 

[M. Wallace]

Couple caffeine pills, that's it.

 

[Deleted member 4869]

1 Omeprazole pill every night or else I choke on my own gastric acid.

That's pretty much it. For now...

 

[chuckddd]

Let's see here. *opens pill case* Multi-vitamin, fish oil, biotin, saw palmetto supplement, and claritin. 5

 

[sbenji]

I take an anti-psychotic (sounds worse than it is. It just help keep racing thoughts and minor paranoia at bay.), an antidepressant, and a vitamin

 

[oni_saru]

Sertraline daily
Allergy med somewhat daily

0, but there shouldn't be any stigma for taking pills that you need. Modern medicine is a marvel, take advantage of it when you need to.

This x100. I never wanted to treat my depression with medications thinking I could deal with it on my own OR talk therapy as enough treatment. When I finally decided to try medication treatment (after overcoming the stigma I had towards meds), it was life changing for me. Like legit my mindset was different. I finally didn't feel chronically sad. I felt that I could have prevented years of suffering had I taken this step much earlier in life. But better late then never.

 

[T0M]

Sertraline - Daily

Omega 3 Fish Oil - Daily

Claritin - Sorta Daily, I haven't had any allergic episodes recently, maybe I grew out of it.

Multivitamin - Daily

[CNoodles]

Two doses of krill oil and that's it. Hope to stay in decent shape and eat right to avoid having to keep up with meds.

 

[Dodger]

0 and I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible

2 iron since i am close to anemic
1 fishoil

[Starviper]

I used to take some daily multivitamins and some others but I ended up with patches in my beard. I stopped taking them and like a year+ later it's all grown back in normally.

 

[Reeks]

Turmeric, enchinea, vitamin c, vitamin b, magnesium, propanalol (for migraine prevention)x2, omegas

Workout supplements and collagen (in powder form)

 

[Aftervirtue]

Omega 3 fish oil.

All the other vitamin always sounds good on paper but when I take them my piss turns super bright yellow and I don't feel any different otherwise. So I stopped taking them.

 

[raYne_07]

One chewable vitamin forced upon me by my wife daily. Before that, none.

 

[Pau]

I take two pills daily: one antidepressant and one mood stabilizer. Lately it's been four every few days, since I added the allergy medicine.



I totally agree, but subconsciously I haven't completely overcome the thought of myself being a 'weaker' person for having to resort to pills (specifically antidepressants) to maintain sanity, when most other people manage to do it 'the natural way'.

It sucks thinking like this, but I've become much more accustomed to taking antidepressants ever since I started a few years ago, so it does give me some hope of changing my way of thinking.

It's hard, and sometimes it changes day to day. I'm glad it's getting a little easier, and I think it does get easier with time. You aren't weak. The opposite in fact! Following through with treatment is a sign of strength! <3

 

[Claire Delune]

I need a fistful of psychoactive substances every night to maintain the semblance of being a functional human being. Fortunately it works pretty well, haven't had an episode since starting my current regimen.

 

[Okabe]

Adderal in the morning
Melatonin at night

 

[Hana-Bi]

I started taking it almost two months ago for UC..basically just to help anti-bodies from growing on another drug I take. Low dosage Only 50mg a day. Since I've started it, I feel worse. Aches and pains all over

Click to shrink...

I take 150mg. Luckily I don't have any problems and it helps against Crohn's.

 

[Skade]

Not sure how to respond. I "inhale" 4 doses from "capsules" (?) a day for my asthma but it's not really pills and only the powder inside get's in my body.

And then i sometimes takes paracetamol in case of strong headaches.

 

[TheSaddestSort]

0-1 depending on whether it's allergy season.

 

[Cdammen]

I'm lactose intolerant and have to take a pill with most foods that contain those sugars. Otherwise I get a real bad stomach ache and... https://youtu.be/hR321GAIhJw

So 3-6 for me.

 

[RoaminRonin]

I take 1 men's multivitamin, that's it.

 

[Kewlmyc]

High Blood Pressure pill but that's it.

 

[NekoFever]

Nothing routinely. Occasional antihistamines when the pollen count is high, but I haven't bothered this year because there hasn't been much chance to get out to less urban areas where it's a problem.

You always run in to a dog when you least expect it.

 

[Rizific]

1 famotidine (pepcid) daily for heartburn

 

[hobblygobbly]

none

i get my vitamins from diet and sun

 

[Indelible]

Just a multivitamin and some extra vitamin d since I'am not getting much sun right now.

 

[Dinjooh]

I take my pills like I take my relationships. Rarely and when it finally happens, completely dry.

 

[davidnolan13]

i take 3 usually for underactive thyroid and migraine prevention so its not to bad but my wife has to take between 19 and 30 a day depending on how good a day shes having.

 

[Strings]

Err... Six and a half :P?

 

[Midas]

One tiny little pill of levothyroxine.

 

[DjRalford]

Omeprazole

Hydrocortisone

Fludrocortisone

Multivitamin

Centrazine Hydrochloride

 

[Martinski]

Sometimes 1-2 but right now 0. And the pills in question are vitamins and omeprazol for my tummy.

I sometimes get gastritis, I guess it's an underlying stress syndrome. Omeprazol gets rid of it.

 

[16bits]

quite enlightening to see how many people take snake oil vitamins on a daily basis.

i need to get a slice of that grifting pie.

i wonder if there is an america/ europe divide going on here?

 

[Deleted member 9241]

I haven't taken a single pill in years probably. I'm 45 and feeling great. I don't even take stuff for aches and pains. Instead I use a heating pad/ice or something topical like icyhot.

My wife has to take a few pills daily for a variety of things though. Seems like a pita to me!

 

[Orbis]

My quality of life drops about 25% if I don't take 1 esomeprazole (generic Nexium) per day.

 

[Deleted member 1478]

One during hayfever season (for me, June-August)

 

[Kromeo]

Just some snake oil vitamins that almost certainly do no good at all.

How much benefit you'll get from multi vits will completely depend on how good your diet is

 

[Deleted member 9932]

doing an isotretinoin round, 1.

Should be chugging vitamin d tho.

 

[Herb Alpert]

None.
I try to use as few medication as I can.
Only use it when I'm sick.
I find vitamins and other stuff like that in the food or going outside.

 

[Drain You]

0 but I really should be taking vitamins.

and a bunch of stuff for my stomach.
