prescriptions *cross posted*
I got yet another Rx today I have to start taking.
my company has pretty good benefits (part of the reason i'm trapped there)
& the copays are still killing me.
I guess I should be thankful that my Rx charges didnt total $550 like I saw one woman have.
anyway, I was curious....how many Rx's do you have to take per day?
*thinking* I take like 4 or 5 and then calcium & iron too. (on days i remember) wow. thats a lot.
i need somthing.. these poor little shoulders can't handle much moregive me some drugs, Kellee..
I AM PROUD TO SAY.. NONE..
I take no RX(s) other than the vitamins that I'm suppose to be taking for life but then.. I wasn't on any RX(s) prior to WLS either.. except BC (when I remembered).. and got that fixed same year as WLS..
but arent those vitamins a prescription? or you just take over the counter.
my doc has me taking pre natal vitamin. which is a pain in the butt cause every time I have something new happen & i have to go to a different doc they say "oh are you pregnant?"
to which I sigh & say "no just formerly fat. presently pudgey. thank you very much"
the last doc i saw who wrote up this script said this, I swear no lie:
him: youre pregnant?
me: no, I had weight loss surgery & my surgeon requires those for life.
him: you had wls?
me: yes
him: did you lose weight?
me: *strange look* yessir I did.
I'm not claiming to be skinny, but good grief man, c'mon.
my doc told me to take FLINTSTONES.. chewable.. and the first year bloodwork.. I was a little low in iron.. so they said ..."take FLINTSTONES with IRON.. chewable"
but I bolted and now take CENTRUM chewables.. sue me..
and TUMS.. for calcium..
and a potassium.. when I start feeling leg cramps
and a B-12 sublingual.. just cuz I want too.. when I think of them all..
i take several:
synthroid, torsemide, zetia, tricor, allegra, b12 shots and prescribed iron
then all my vitamins too
just ordered new prescriptions today for $88 for 3 months it was the tricor and zetia that put it over the top hoping to get off of that soon since my triglycerides are normal now just have to quit fried foods
I take 3 prescription meds....then a handful of OTC crap.
Toprol (for bp)
Lexapro (depression)
Lasix (...to get rid of the Fred Flintstone legs due to water retention, as needed)
2 Pepcid
2 multivitamins
1 B-complete
2 B-12 sublinguals
1 Biotin
By the time I finish my meds......I count it as my evening snack!
