In reply to MY DOC ADDED ANOTHER PILL- HELP ASAP!!!, posted by mellymel_d on September 18, 2005, at 11:38:27
I haven't taken quite that many at once but I'm on a daily regimen of medication as well (that concerns me).
Mine are more for allergies/sinus/inflamation but it's still a lot of medicine. I feel sorry for my poor liver so I add Milk Thistle to my daily mix.
I don't think you would OD on what you listed. You can do a search online and check to see if any of your meds would react to another. I've done that a few times.
Also, my dad is a diabetic, has chronic back pain ( degenerative discs), Hepatitis C, emphysema, Bipolar, etc.. He is on 12 different medications daily; Klonopin, Seroquel, Lamictal, Lexapro, Morphine, neurontin, Coumadin, Muscle Relaxers, heart pills, etc.. I can't even list them all he's on so many. He's been like this for 4 years and he's still alive.
He even abuses his meds and is still kickin', so as long as you take them as prescribed, you should be okay.
My father and my father in law are both on Neurontin and the only thing they've ever said was it made them sleepy.
It does seem to help my father in law with his nerve damage, and I have a friend on it for migraines that it also helps.
I know the fear of adding more meds- I've had weird reactions too. I hope it goes well for you!
