That Effexor is vile, isn't it? I actually wrote to the company that makes it and asked why they can't put some sort of flavoring in it. They did not bother to write me back. Hmph.

I take about 20 pills a day vitamins including some hypertension medicine. I am off my diabetes medicine all together and I suspect my physician will take me off my hypertension medicine on my next visit. Some of the vitamins I take are not directed by surgeon. I was a big vitamin taker before surgery and have continued those, like glucosamine, flax seed oil, etc.
Oops I forgot one, so its 21 a day.

Yeah, I take more vites than recommended by my surgeon, too.

and I forgot to count my flaxseed. I don't take it all the time. But it helps when my skin gets really dry in the winter.

All meds and vitamins together is 22. It used to be almost all meds but those are slowly tapering off. Karen

I add ground flaxseed to my breakfast every morning. Is yours a pill?
