[blonde4938]

How many meds do you take on a daily bases?
And what are the doses?

 

[Forgetmenot]

Well I take two tramadol in the am and two at night .50mg 50 mg amitripolyn at night the rest are for my bi polar.

Cymbalta: 60mg in morning; 30mg at night (90mg total)
Lyrica: 100mg 3x daily (300mg total)

As my neurologist was very extensive in ordering tests (pretty much left no stone unturned), I was also discovered to be Vitamin D deficient and Iron deficient for which I take supplements. Was also found to have a thyroid issue (was overactive for a few months before swinging to underactive... really don't know what that's about but an endocrinologist is monitoring it and prescribing meds accordingly). Also taking prescription strength Omeprazole for GERD.

I just started taking 100mg of Tramadol time released pill once a day and 400mg of Garapentin every six hours along with supplemnts including Vitamin D. Is anyone else taking the Tramadol and Garapentin? Are you getting good results?

Holy cow! I counted out the number of pills including both meds and supplements. I take 24 pills each day.

 

[BrandySpencer]

Tramadol, 100 mg. 3 x day
Oh, too many to list. Lol. I am bipolar. So meds for that. Lamictal, cymbalta, geodon, xanax, modifinal. (Also bi-pap for sleep apnea). Synthroid.
Hot flashes acting up, so I am just starting Menoquil, says it takes 2 - 4 weeks before it kicks in. Hopefully , before I travel for the holidays.
Trying these supplements for pain, ginger root and turmeric in capsule form.
Thought I might be addicted to tramadol, but, what the hey, i'm taking it. I don't think it or any narcotic helps my pain. But I am not going through the withdrawal from tramadol. It's not worth it.
I sit on ice, back and neck every 2 hours.
I just discovered the TENS unit, and I like it. Wear it a lot. Bought 2 units. One for neck and back. It is electric stimulation like my chiropractor uses. It's a bit of of a drag because the pads do not stick to my skin all the time.
I feel like I get new symptoms every day.
This is my first day here.
I am seeing my gp next week.
