That would be worth money.(My poor mom! My performer streak must be a trial to her, sometimes. But you know, people look if I wear navy skirts and try to whisper like Michael Jackson...sometimes I think maybe I should just go for broke...dye my hair some cotton candy shade and the whole schmear.) It would probably mean, most gallant Hecubus, the curious spectacle of a woman both trying to write on a clipboard and pretend she doesn't read English.

they can't find anything that will fit into that mix. It's crazy.

Hubby's on 14 daily drugs. They're starting to give him drugs to counter the drug interactions.

Drug companies get very rich off of heart patients: cholesterol lowering mixes, rhythm stabilizers, mixes of things they're not quite sure what they do but they seem to prevent recurrences . . .

Yup. Also blood-pressure drugs and diabetes drugs, b/c diabetes and heart disease are so commonly seen together.

My Dad hasn't had any new drugs added to his current regimen of (I think) 8-9 drugs, but he's just recently started having a weird adverse reaction that his doctors can't puzzle out. V. frustrating.

Oh, boy do I remember those days! When I was on an MAOI it gave me reflux. The reflux medication made me sick to my stomach, so they gave me something for that...it got kinda crazy. I'm very fortunate to have very few side effects from the current meds.

Has anyone ever been on the pill Singulair?

I take it. I have cough-variant asthma that it works like a dream for. It takes a few days to build up and start working, but it does work for me. I don't need an inhaler with it, either.

It does not, however, work for my allergies. I need Zyrtec on top of the Singulair for allergies.

I don't think Singulair has steriods in it.

Hubby's got that, but it's one of the primary drugs that gave him the reflux. It's kind of like diagramming a sentence, this drug is a dependent clause off of that drug, and that one may be a dangling modifier but we're not sure.

Hmmm...I could have sworn that's what she said, but it looks like you're right. I'm probably remembering wrong. Sorry for the misinformation!

Almost all SSRIs produce insomnia; I used to be on an SSRI + Trazodone for sleep. Now I'm taking Elavil for migraine, and it's sedative enough to replace the Trazodone.

I also used to take ginkgo biloba to offset the sexual effects of SSRIs; unfortunately, it was bad for migraines.

Hells, yeah. I'd come over and dye it for you, iff'n I wasn't so far away.

I take 5 daily medications now (if you count calcium and magnesium-oxide that are both prescribed at higher-than-normal dosages). It kinda scares me that I'm taking that in my 30's. What will it be like in my 60's??
