Do you take medication daily?

I take tricore for cholesterol,lexapro for mood swings,hydrothoroclorazide(HCTZ)for water and high blood pressure,trazadon to help me shut off my brain so I can sleep and coracedin for blood pressure than I take one-a-day and vitamin b-12 and green tea tablets,some times I don't take them when I should but I will take them later yes I keep my bedtime meds in a container the others I keep on the table to remind me to take them.I agree with you the older you get the more meds you have to take and when you go to the doctors if they find something wrong than that means something else will go wrong later YES IT DOES SUCK WHEN YOU ARE GETTING OLDER and the first to go is the brain LOL

I used to take medication on a daily basis. That was when I was suffering from depression and anxiety as well. For the most part, I was able to remember to take my medication every day but sometimes was slow calling in the refills. I am no longer on any prescription medications. I still have the special container to keep any prescription meds in, just in case I need to take medication again.

I have nine prescriptions I take daily, plus a multivitamin. Some have to be taken with food, others without, some in the morning, some at night. So I have one of those boxes, with little squares for each day and each time of the day. It is a pain. On the bright side however, it has given me the incentive to lose weight. If I can stick to a healthy diet and lose enough weight, I might be able to stop taking at least four of the prescriptions.

For a while a couple years ago, I had to put eye drops into my right eye once every 4 hours. Then it was four times a day. Then Three times , every other day. I had to make a chart.Now I only take my allergy pill four times a week.

Yes i take medication every day. I am also very forgetful. The way I do it is I have a small book where I write down what medication I have taken, and the time. I have some that I only take if I feel it is necessary, so a container for them would not help much. Writing it down has really helped alot! Then, if a doctor asks me what and how much I take i can easily find out too. That has proven helpful a couple of times.

I am not taking any medication everyday. I only drink or take it when I am sick and when I am not feeling welll. I dont even take vitamins.

No I don't, but both of my girls do. Both for asthma as they have to have Clariton everday and Albuterol treatments every 4 hours when their allergies peek. My youngest takes Concerta for her ADD as well. I keep their meds in a shoe box with a chart to mark down when they get their meds, that way I don't forget or over dose them.

I take medicine for colitis everyday, 2 pills 3 x a day for a total of six pills a day. I forget all the time, and do not currently use a pillbox, but I know I should.

Yes, I take three medications a day, but it will soon be bumped up to four. I have to take Lamicktal and abilify to treat my bipolar, and I take birth control. I try not to forget to take my pills, because I become a wreck without my bipolar medication, and I could get pregnant without my birth control. If I was to get pregnant, it would be bad because my other medication causes dramatic birth defects. I do hate taking my pills everyday though, and just wish I was normal enough not to require my bipolar medication.

I have many prescriptions that I take every day, for asthma, allergies, and Meniere's disease. Like you I have to use a nebulizer as well when my asthma is really bad. I keep everything in the original bottles, because it's easier for when I have to go to the doctor's and they ask for everything you're on, to have all the bottles with me to copy down from. It's also easier in terms of explaining what I'm taking to other people, like at work or whatever. Besides, the pill containers don't work for my Advair (which is in a discus that I inhale from), my nasal spray stuff, or my Epi-pen that I have to have on me. I carry all of my medicines in my purse, and they pretty much are the only thing in my purse at this point because they take up so much room. Other than my credit/debit/insurance cards and such, which have their own pocket. I never forget to take anything becuase I will actually take each bottle out of my purse after I have taken the medicine, so I know what I have taken and what I haven't. I also have them sorted in my purse by how many times a day I have to take them, so all the ones I take more than once are in the same pocket so my second and third doses only come from that pocket. I sound like such an old person, thinking about how many medicines I take. I'm only 26. I can imagine that by the time I'm 50 I'll have a briefcase or a suitcase for my medicines, rather than just having them take up all the room in my purse.

I take medication on a daily basis. My routine is to line up the medicine on the table and then take it with my coffee. My evening meds I take with milk and cookies in the evening. A couple of times I couldn't remember if I took them or not so now I always take them at the same hour.

Yes, ctry, as a doctor once told me, "Getting old is he11." I do take medication on a daily basis-5 to be exact, and in the past I have forgotten which pill I took or if I took any at all, LOL. My mother gave me one of those DOTW pill keepers a couple of years ago, so I manage much better now. I don't know why but it seem that my long-term memory is better than my short-term memory these days.

See you do hate getting old! Ha ha. I guess that's a benefit I have. I don't have to take medications, well I also don't have insurance so who knows maybe if I went to the doctors I would have to. I do take stuff for my allergies though and I take vitamins. Other than that I don't take much of anything unless i'm sick or have a headache.

Nope, I don't take medication on a daily basis. But I do take regularly multi-vitamins & vitamin c tablets plus brisk walking at least 30 mins on a daily basis ;-)

Yea I take meds daily...I am on anti-depressants (Zoloft- max dose), I take Protonix for GERD, Trazadone to sleep, Clonazepam for RLS, puffer for my asthma when needed and come the cooler weather my doc and I have talked about putting me on pain meds as needed for my broken body parts LOL

I've been taking Lexapro for depression for about the last 4 or 5 months but thats about the only one other than my daily vitamin pill. I have to have the pill container sitting by my sink so that when I go to brush my teeth I'll remember to take them. I'd forget otherwise.

I take medications daily for depression, migraine prevention, asthma, thyriod problems, acid reflux and pain. I also use a nebulizer when my asthma is very bad, although I am supposed to use it every day. I have to take additional pain medications quite frequently, including one for migraines. I have a special container that I use for travel. Aside from that, I have pill bottles all over my desk, arranged in groups so that I remember what time they need to be taken. I do forget to take them sometimes, but my kids are pretty good about reminding me.

the only thing i take daily is a vitamin and a sleeping pill at night (i have sleep issues)...i take pain pills when needed (ibprofin) for my knees (which is quite often - the last dr that viewd my mri/xrays said my knees are worn out - i am waiting for possible surgury) and while i do have asthma, i only need my inhalor when i have a cold or in the hot & humid weather.

i do take medications everday, just now..ilately i got severe chest pain and it had led to heart problem and those are the meds i need to take for..i had my alarm clock for every time monitoring so i would not forget..also i need to wake up if i'm sleepng..its hard and i get sick of taking it but we have to..

i am lucky because at my age (31 years old), my health is pretty much good. i am not taking any medicine or vitamins to keep me up. aside of course when i was pregnant wherein i have to take 3 medicines, including vitamins, daily (mostly for my child).
