Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I take 57 pills, 19 different meds...I try not to think about it! And yes, I do try on a regular basis to use less of them! BTW, remember that there is a difference between being ADDICTED to medications and being PHYSICALLY DEPENDENT on them. Most people are NOT addicted to their medications..but that's a whole other discussion.! Bill wrote: Hi Lynn I went to the MS meeting in Noblesville last evening and I ran into an older couple that also attend the Greenfield MS meeting there. The speaker talked about prescription drugs and also about become addicted to some drugs. She said she had so much to talk about she could not do it all in an hours time so she did more of a summary about drugs. One lady there said she takes over 18 pills a day. I bet she feels like a junkie. That has to be a large monthly medical bill for those meds. When she mentioned 18 I was begining to wonder who in our group take the most pills for there different health conditions? I just take 2 different pills, ditropan for my bladder trouble and Vasetec for my diabetes. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
