Any one here takes meds?

Post Reply New Topic

Just curious of what you take and how its doing for you.

Why? Are you thinking about going into the drug-dealing business again?

Well meds include lots of things, at the end of the day almost nobody is "drug free". We all injest a range of drugs each day at concentrations which are too low to have a noticeable effect.

I would define a drug as a substance which is not a normal food substance

So it can not be

Starch
Cellulose
Succrose
Fructose
Glucose
Lactose
An aminoacid or a long polypeptide (protein)
A conventional lipid (fat, oil or wax)
Water
Normal vitamins
Normal minerals

But the caffine like chemicals in chocolate count as a drug, as does the tiny trace of morphine in a poppy seeded bread. While poppy seeded bread contains morphine it has too little to get a person high. But a good urine test should still be able to detect it. I have heard that as a result of ORT and "the pill" that a range of female steroidal sex hormones have entered the environment.

I would so love to get the chance measure the concetration of prozac, cocaine and other psychoactive drugs in tap water. I expect that the concentrations would be very very low.

Yes, I take meds, and I'm glad I do because I wouldn't be about to function or speak at all if I didn't.

If you want to read about prozac in river water then go to

no meds here my dude.

i no longer take pmeds due to the lack of prescription drug [medical insurance] drug coverage. but i was on strattera and concerta, in addition to lovastatin, and beta blockers/water pills for hypertension.

I take Focalin for ADHD

WP lost my post so I'll try to recreate it.

I hurt my back last week and the Dr. gave me a bunch or prescriptions that totaled over $500 at the pharmacy. I ended up just taking one corticosteroid that was only $2.50. The next time i go to the doctor I will be taking the Walmart $4 prescription list.

i take epilepsy meds everyday, one at day and two at night they work perfectly and taste awful lol .

I'm on Paxil and Risperidone. I do very well, because of them, and I'm not planning on going off them, any time, soon.

I used to be on them but now I only take Prenatal vitamins.

My husband thinks I should be on some medication.

I'm on an antidepressant and a non psych med. Plus on xanax/sleepers when needed. I'll probably be on one more med, tried one but couldn't tolerate it, even though it was "mild". I'm very sensitive to meds if they are not benzos, them I have sort a natural tendency to tolerate.

I take lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant. I was on citalopram, an antidepressant, but i had a bad bipolar reaction.

I should add I take my antidepressant for depression and anxiety.

I also take my pills, for depression.
