Im 40+ and take no pills at all and never been to hospital in my life except to visit others.
Until 45, no pills whatsoever. 51 now, 1 weekly arthritis pill, 1 weekly anti arthritis pill side effect pill, 1 daily blood pressure pill. I don't count things like daily benecol, or occasional pain killers for when the arthritis pill doesn't quite do it's job.
Do I win?
Up until the age of 57 in 2010 I had never popped a pill (apart from the odd aspirin) in my life.
It's sometimes not a lot of fun getting old.
Amlodipine - 5mg - daily - blood pressure
Ramipril - 10mg - daily - blood pressure
Prednisolone - 2mg to 5mg - daily - polymyalgia rheumatica
Atorvastin - 20mg - daily - statin
Omeprazole - 20mg - daily - gastro resistant
theical-D3 - 1000mg - daily - vitamin D3
Alendronic Acid - 70mg - weekly - osteoporosis

My only prescription is for my XXXXL size condoms, which aren't available over the counter.

Is that similar to a Belstaff XXXXL?Originally Posted by magirus
Cool story bro
Have you seen that film 'Unbreakable'?
Atrial fibrillation?
Fixed that for you.
Taking all those pills is better than the alternative though.

Nothing until hayfever season (and I normally start early with tree pollen).
Then it's one Loratidine before bed - I find it make me feel really 'odd' if I take in the daytime but taken before bed I have weird-as-**** dreams but no hayfever the following day with no 'oddness'.
I just started 20mg daily Elvanse this week.
Haven't noticed it doing anything yet, so will increase on Monday (as instructed).
I take loads of the bloody things 22 a day in total just had Entresto added to my list, my ICD/ pacemaker went haywire a couple of weeks ago it’s pacing all the time and my hearts out of sync causing dizziness and shortness of breath.
They spotted it on my home monitor called me in im in Wednesday to have the ICD removed and a CRT put in god bless ‘em I thought my time was up.
No driving for six weeks though.
Congratulations- currently the front runner by a significant margin. Puts my meagre dosage to shame.
I would like to get off the amiodarone after my CRT is fitted causes me a few problems I’m just amazed how quickly they have got me in to get it done.
Is this the Pharma appreciation thread?
I am sure there will be the usual tin foil hat wearers coming to tell you all that you are being brainwashed and don’t need all this rubbish.
Just have a nice cup of camomile tea and some primrose oil in the evening!
not as cool as your story bro, oh wait you just go around making stupid remarks
You have my sincere sympathy. I presume some of the tablets are taken to counteract the side effects of others and so on…?
Just 2 for my prostate.
Me:
Nothing.
My 10 year old:
Desmopressin bd
Hydrocortisone liquid tds unless ill and then injected
Thyroxine od
Growth Hormone od injection
He’s still smiling though.
I must be lucky. I'm a pensioner but only take naproxen for damage related arthritis, when I remember.
50 , no pills , no health issues touchwood .
Feel left out , everyone else is on pills . Shat are the best ones ? I’d like to spend my senesence in a blissed out fog .
Looks similar to what I take...man, that polymyalgia is a nasty bitch. I had it untreated for nine months.
Not sure how we compare, I take 10 diff meds.
Amlodipine 10mg tablets
Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg tablets
Carvedilol 25mg tablets
Docusate 100mg capsules
Entresto 97 mg/103mg tablets
Eplerenone 25mg tablets
Hydralazine 50mg tablets
Lansoprazole 30mg
Senna 15mg tablets
Warfarin 1mg tablets
This translates into 28 tablets through the day. V complicated heart history plus high BP. Clearly some of the meds counter the side effects of others. Sigh. Any advance?
Glad you are getting it treated.
All the best mate.
Cheers,
Neil.
Ah finally a thread I can participate in.
Still figuring it out but currently 50mg lisdexamphetamine daily, at 34 years old. Other than the absolute clown fiesta in my brain, a picture of health with no other medications.
Bricking it a bit but hey ho mate, the last one was a fecking nightmare it was done under local I think the gave it the wrong person :)Glad you are getting it treated.
All the best mate.
No don’t think so gabbapentin amiodarone Entresto bisoporpl atoravastatin levoxorine paracetamol asprin senna, I was on morphine for 13 years for my legs but it put me in a coma after shutting down my kidneys.
Nearly croaked it they called my family in at six in the morning to say goodbye, proved the buggers wrong.
Worst part sometimes is you can’t think straight head of cotton wool :).
Only two prophylactic meds for me. Not bad for a 61yr old. But my wife is 69 and no meds at all.
I do take five multi-vitamin and various supplements as prescribed by my wife (trained nutritional therapist) - for osteoporosis and others like B1 etc.
“ Ford... you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.” HHGTTG
Bloody loads! To be honest, I sometimes lose track of what they are and what they’re for. As someone else said though, the alternative is far, far worse.
Take care and enjoy every day as much as you possibly can.

At the pub last week amongst similarly aged friends, there was a lull in the conversation and one of the five suddenly dropped the 'V' bomb.
Only one of the group had used Viagra but had them suffered from a thumping headache and had to bale out during the act and lay down in a dark room for 20 minutes.
For those of a similar age and affliction, what is the general opinion? More trouble than its worth or a useful extension (pun intended) of their active service life?
Sent through the ether by diddling with radio waves
Other than when covid tried to kill me, nothing other than the occasional headache pill
Condoms are only available in 3 sizes...small, medium & liar.
60 end of month, blood pressure tablets, the odd strong pain killers for back, fell off a cliff around 20 years ago.
I misread that as a humping headache
I tried it once but it got stuck in my throat.
I had a stiff neck for a week.
Just turned 73 haven't taken a pill until 2 months ago when prescribed a stating and a prostrate tab so doing ok put this down to a life of playing squash and now tennis.
Oxypro and Shortec every day, twice a day. Never allowed to even make coffee as I can easily pour the water on the counter.
Fun, fun, fun.
Good luck with it.
Got diagnosed with high blood pressure 3.5 years ago (I'm 51 now), so am on meds for that. Totally out of the blue, no signs of it before I got myself checked (I'd got a tick bite so only went to the doctor's to get a does of antibiotics for that), I suspect I'm lucky that I did.

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
Same and same.
Thankfully just 20mg a day lercanidipine for slightly high blood pressure.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Levothyroxine 125mg.+
Entresto 24mg/26mg Twice per day
Digoxin 125mg.+
Bisopropol 2.5mg.+
Dapagliflozin 10mg.+
Allopurinol 300mg.
Dovato.
Pentazocine 50mg. Only when required.
Pethidine 50mg. Only when required.
Then there are the injections.
58 and don't take anything though perhaps largely as I never go to the GP!
That said I am fit (keen cyclist), not overweight and BP is fine.
I feel very lucky to be in this position and just hope it continues for as long as possible...I know the inevitable day will come at some point.
Not permanent but im taking naproxen and a low dose of amitriptyline at the moment for a frozen shoulder which is nearly back to normal.
Other than that, occasional paracetamol or ibuprofen as and when.
Just Vitamin D for me. Apparently it's a good one to top up on in the UK, or so I'm told.
