Prescription medicine I'm on.

I'm on:

clonazepam

Norco 10-325 for Pain thats all for me, I took myself off anything else and am trying a more holistic approach

 

I'm on effexor too. (Depression)
As well as
Norco (back pain)
Spironolactone (polycystic ovaries)
Armour thyroid (hypothyroidism)
Birth control ( for polycystic ovaries)
Oh and ultram for when I'm having mild pain
Cyclobenzaprine for back spasms, muscle relaxer

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah no shit I'm only on 5-7 meds depending on the day and half of them make me loopy so I end up forgetting what I took.

 

Plus they keep changing the brands around so I can no longer remember what I'm taking and what its for

 

My son is currently on 27 meds and they keep swapping stuff out or changing dosages it gets sooooooo confusing

 

I'm on duloxetine, amphetamine salts, motrin 800, tizanadine, albuterol, and I take kratom. I don't think there is enough room to type everything I have been on in my life. Its been a hard fight to battle pain and depression. Been medicated for about 15 years now.

 

If you don't mind sharing can you tell me about the Kratom? I am just starting to research it. I keep hearing that it is for chronic pain. Any help would be appreciated. It is ok if you don't want to share too.

 

i'm on lexapro 20mg.
idk why but it knocks me out. so i always make sure i take whenever bedtime is. I kno this is nothing compared to a lot of ya'll but hey, ya'll shared. So will I!!

 

Forteo -- fantastic med can only use 2 years unfortunately, but that may change from what I have read.

Dilaudid via intrathecal pump -- changed my life literally

I feel lucky only having 2 meds on my list....... I do take several supplements and am trying smoothies with all sorts of stuff in them.... helping me feel much better and get weight back to where it was prior to implant of pump.

 

I think I need to learn how to quote.....lol Sorry about that.....

 

tag which will case that to happen as well.

As for the osteo, that is difficult. Hope things continue to improve and that you don't end up with an nerve related issues as a result of degeneration anywhere.[/QUOTE]

Think I'm getting the idea.... thanks IMI....
The osteo really does concern me. For a while I was afraid to do much of anything and that was the exact opposite of what I should have done. Any activity will help strengthen the bones, just have to keep it within your limits. I'm getting to the point now after almost a decade of starting some light resistance training and some calisthenics. I've read a couple of books about "body weight training" and it sounds like it might be exactly what someone with my disease could use.
I already have nerve damage from both a failed surgery and damage from collapsed vertebrae hence the pump. That device did greatly improve my life quality and it has allowed me to start to be more active again. It just seems like such a slow process but I suppose I shouldn't be expecting to run marathons after pretty much a ten month hiatus from any exercise....lol

 

No I have not. But I'm open to anything I can do. I did get a used bike and have been trying to take daily rides. It's great just to get out and about. Heck, I can even make runs to the grocery store and get exercise at the same time!
