Who else is in Club no-Meds?

[jpgray]

I have no drugs prescribed to me whatsoever. It makes me feel strangely left out.

[crispini]

1. Just take vitamins.

Then you can worry about that every day. :) I take Omega-3, a multivitamin, and glucosamine for my shoulders. It works.

[LSK]

9. or eat your vegies!!!

[LSK]

2. right here

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Tom? Tom Cruise? Is that you?

[jpgray]

6. Ha--I'm still working on feeling superior to those who take medication

I'll be ruining upholstery and assaulting morning show hosts in no time.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. I wish I didn't have to take medication

but such is life.

[jpgray]

11. Both my bro and my dad have taken medication for depression

And I think it helped them quite a bit.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. I take meds because I have lupus.

Keeps the pain in check. I am symptom free for two years. Not bad.

[khashka]

19. Fuck, girl!

Lupus? That's scary. My doc told me that she thinks my problems are actually lupus. At first I was little confused.... isn't that a woman's disease? Not necessarily..... then the fear set in. I'm still avoiding the tests.


Two years symptom free? WOOHOO! May there be many more!

Khash.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. It's not that bad.

I finally got diagnosed because I was so exhausted all the time and my joints were hurting 24/7.

I figure it could be a lot worse. I could have something terminal. I know lupus can be fatal, but I am hoping my case isn't. At least for about another 40 years.

4. I'm thinking about weaning myself off of my (one) prescription.

I'm sick of being on it and I don't think it's really doing anything for me anymore.

[evlbstrd]

5. I just left the club.

Damn, and I was a member for over 20 years.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Just take HRT

and while I know it makes a difference in my energy levels (good), the long-term possibilities are not good.

[dolo amber]

10. I don't have any drugs *prescribed* to me, either

:yoiks:

[SteppingRazor]

23. Likewise....

I have a pharmacy in my closet, but nothing prescribed to me :evilgrin:

[Loonman]

12. Reality is for people who can't handle drugs

:popcorn:

[tjdee]

13. I have asthma....I always forget I"m on that drug.

That's why I came in this thread, to be like Drug Free for me!

But then I remembered. Dammit.

[sundog]

14. none

[Tyrone Slothrop]

15. I'm (prescription) drug-free n/t

[khashka]

17. I quit some of mine...

I'm a depressive. "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" is my anthem.

So I took antidepressants.... and started hallucinating and hearing voices. I had myself committed. The psychs in the psych ward told me "You are not schizophrenic! Just quit taking the goddam fucking meds!"

They were right.

I know they are miracles for some. But not everyone. For me it was a nightmare.

I still take blood pressure meds and stuff for neuropathy and chronic pain.

But I found depression was easier to live with than the meds....

Khash.

[tjwmason]

18. None here either.

In fact haven't even seen a doctor since I was 17.

My only prescription is my glasses/contacts.

[AllegroRondo]

20. does Caffeine count?

thats the only one I take.

[Blue-Jay]

21. No meds until about 3 months ago.

Now I have to take a fucking blood pressure pill every day! It's the lowest dose of the mildest pill available, but it's still a pain in the ass.
