Take meds? Took meds? What did you take?!

Trazodone? Jesus. Psychoactive meds scare me.

They gave it to me to help me sleep. After a few days, one pill didn't help anymore. So they told me to take one and a half. It didn't do anything either, so they told me to take two. I remember taking them, watching tv in bed and wanting to turn over but I couldn't because I was so out of it. Never again.
 
for right now... nasonex, nexium and zyrtec... in the past, been on several other things for stomach related problems, and a lot of codeine after my back surgery in 2001. other than that, i've been relatively healthy. the nexium is the only thing that has helped my stomach issues. oh, and i took something when i had pancreatitis (sp?), but i can't remember wtf is was.
 
I generally refuse most medication when its recommended to me. Occasionally I'll take some claritin if my allergies are particularly harsh. Mostly self-medicating.

At the moment - vicodin, skelaxin, and daypro for my torn rorator cuff. Hurts. :cry: I also use an albuterol inhaler, singulair and advair for my asthma. I also Icy/Hot and Biofreeze myself up every morning. Poor Cara has to smell me at work.

In the past I've taken antivert, prozac, zoloft, soma (which FUCKS you up), xanax, effexor, trazodone, topamax, paxil, wellbutrin, yasmin, ortho tri-cyclen, tons of antibiotics, claritin, nasonex, abilify, zyrtec, tons of decongestants, nexium, inderal, valium, demerol (which does nothing for me), codeine, and I'm sure I'm forgetting about a million other pills. ***** ***** *****!

My mother was prescribed Prozac, and saddly shit loads of it. She got hooked and it made her depression worse. Side effects include nightmares...she would wake up screaming in the night for christ sake. And then I think I managed to get her off of them, and what do you know? The nightmares stopped.

Me?

Shit loads of the green.
