Re: How often do you take prescription drugs?

Until I was recently put on Synthroid, I would never take anything. The only exceptions was Exedrine Migraine when it was so bad that even a nap wouldn't fix it.

Re: How often do you take prescription drugs?

I take BC pills

I try not to take them (not BC pills- just rx drugs in general)

Re: How often do you take prescription drugs?

I take Solodyn - it's an antibiotic for acne. I have to take it everyday for 30 days. Other than that I pop a Xanyx (only about 2 pills per month) when I feel the need.

After going off of BC, only if really necessary (antibiotic).

Ditto...i have a feeling there is one in my future today as I'm home sick. I hate taking antibiotics though. Now, if you ask me how often I take OTC stuff, that's another story. Advil and I are good friends.

Re: How often do you take prescription drugs?

birth control every day, allergy meds as needed

ETA: i will only take antibiotics for a cold if the doctor tells me i have an actual infection (strep, whatever) - i won't take them if i just don't feel well. i don't even bother going to the doctor.

EVery freakin day. So annoying. I take xyzal (allergy pill) in the morning with two different nasal sprays (astelin and veramist) my BC

Re: How often do you take prescription drugs?

If you asked me a few months ago, it would have been every day ... I had a heck of a year with herniated discs and then before I was fully recovered from that, a torn rotator cuff which led to surgery. Chat Icon

Soooooo happy to say that now my answer is rarely!

Re: How often do you take prescription drugs?

about once a month. There was a time I was on meds everyday.

It's for a chronic condition but I only take it when I flare.

Antibiotics...almost never. I prefer to let things run their course.

I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's so Ive started thyroid meds...

Before that I was taking Zoloft and Wellbutrin...although I think that may be able to be phased out now that we know the problem was my thyroid.

I can't remember the last time I got a Rx filled.... for me. I think it was after a surgical procedure, so that's about it for me.

I take BC pills and an allergy pill daily. I hate having to take the allergy pill but I have no choice...i end up with sinus infections if I don't. I also now take a anti-inflamatory antibiotic daily...i have to take it for a year to control a newly discovered situation I have going on. Chat Icon
