Life on medication

Its no fun living a life where you need daily medication to survive/cope/handle the stresses of the day. Anyone who has to take meds on a day to day basis has my sympathy. Im on 4 different tablets each day. Sertraline 100mg (anti-depressant) , Sertraline 50mg , Mirtazepine 30mg (anti depressant and tranquilizer) and Propranolol 90mg (mood stabiliser and beta blocker)

Added to that i have Diazepam 5mg (mood stabiliser) and Zopiclone 7.5mg (sleeping tablet) prescribed as PRN to be taken as and when im particularly unstable or cant sleep.

Im surprised i dont rattle when i walk

I have a cocktail of meds that I take at night as well, I get them blister packed by the pharmacy themselves kindof like a pill box....I take Atrovastatan 40mg as a mood stableizer, I take Clozapine 150mg as an antiphychotic, I take Escitalophram 20mg which is meant for seizures, but I take it for it's appetite supressant, and during dinner I also inject myself with a small needle called Saxanda 3ml daily which is kindof like Ozempic!

@saintsong isnt Atovastatin for Cholesterol levels? Ozempic is a form of valium yes?

It’s really not.

Every night and morning you sit with a box of medicines.
Sert is the one I dislike the most

Sometimes I skip my meds intentionally.

That's quite the concoction.. Do you have to use one of those pill boxes with days of the week on it, so you don't forget.

@Majorlatency no mine are just in boxes but i have a reminder set on my phone so i dont miss a dose
