A couple of days ago I actually sat down and dispensed a month worth of pills into one of those pill organizers so that I wouldn't have stand and open bottles everyday because there were some days where I just didn't feel up to it, or didn't have time to. Today while I was taking my morning pills, I actually counted them. Every morning I gulp down 16 pills!
3 1/2 of them are prescription (thyroid pill, Celexa, low dose ASA), the rest are supplements in an attempt to boost my immune system because I don't always eat well balanced meals.
Here is what I take in addition to my prescriptions:
Royal Jelly
- 2 capsules daily
- For my asthma
Echinacea
- 2 capsules daily
- Recently started
- To treat my current and to prevent future colds. However, there is no real clinical evidence that it works. I'm hedging my bets anyway.
One-A-Day Women's Formula
- 1 pill daily
- Because I don't always eat nutritionally complete meals everyday
Odorless Garlic
- 4 capsules daily (2 in the morning and 2 at night)
- Recently started
- To treat my current and to prevent future colds.
Zinc
- 1 pill daily
- To treat my current and to prevent future colds. Seems to have been effective until this year. Until now, the last cold I had was at least 6 years ago.
VitaminD
- 3 pills daily
- Informally prescribed by my pain clinic doctor because I do not like to sit outside in the sun. It helps manage my depression as well as pain.
In addition to the above I am going to the pharmacy to pick up Vitamin B Complex as well as Vitamin C.
So what are you pill regimes?
