    1 for asthma plus 1 for high blood pressure caused by asthma and migraine meds.

    2 for knee pain plus 1 for stomach issues caused by knee meds.

    1 extra because i hurt my shoulder in a dumb bike accident a couple of weeks ago.

    Feeling like i could trade all of these for Claritin and weed.

    Does half of one count as 1 pill?

    I guess I’m at 6-8 depending on how you count them. Being trans is complicated. =3

    I was diagnosed with a nasty rare condition at 26 and since then have been taking a minimum of 7 a day.

    However my highest is probably 21 a day. (I ran out of a medication I take at 1600mcg, and was supplemented with 200mcg pills for a week or so. So 2 doses a day of that is already 16 pills.)

      I’m at two as well. Finasteride for hair, and vitamin D because my doctor recommended it.

      I had thought the vitamin D pill was actually kinda useless when i first started taking it. I was fine before i started taking the pill, right? Due to me being lazy and prescription address changes lagging behind a move, I ended up skipping out on that pill for two months. Turns out, vitamin D is like, a minor anti depressant or some shit because I was exhausted all the time near the end there before I started retaking the pill.

        As a PNW resident, Vitamin D is serious business. Which you’ve reminded me I stopped taking…

      That’s a good solid base. Add some vitamins in. I don’t know what they do but they’ll really pump your numbers up. Hell, throw in a fish oil and you’re cooking with gas.

    I’m currently taking 10. Long Covid, esophageal dysmotility, asthma and menopause are a bitch.

    HRT (2 meds), 2 lots of heart meds, statins, omeprazole, blood pressure meds, antihistamines, betablocker, inhaler.

    Chrohns pill 4× daily, adderall 1-2× daily, multivitamin 1× daily, D-Vitamin 1× daily, so 7-8 per day. I am 29, so I have gotten a head start on my pill quota. I start back up on injections for Crohns next week, so four of those should be going away in the next month or so.

    I hope, for as long as possible to stick with only a fluctuating 4½ to 5 a day. One of my pills sometimes fluctuates with how much I need to take, but as long as I can keep it to the 3 types I’m currently taking or less, I’d be a happy old man.

    I’m currently on 18 in the morning, and 9 in the evening. I have eyedrops twice a day too. I’m in my mid forties now, so will almost certainly increase that number as I get older.
