    None.

    But I take Vitamins C, D, and E, glucosamine, calcium, eyebright, B-complex, a multi-vitamin and salmon oil capsules.

    In the words of James Brown: " I feel goooood....!!!! "

    It's funny, I took a men's multi-vitamin last year and felt HORRIBLE! It just didn't agree with me.

    Min, you have to eat something with those sometimes. I went to the movies one night, and right before stepping out the door, I remembered I forgot to take my Centrum. While driving to the movies, my stomach felt like someone was sticking a knife through it. One thing I find somewhat humurous is how your urine turns fluorescent green after taking a multivitamin. I think the body gets rid of excess vitamin B. Your urine looks like ectoplasm after taking one.

    I have a small amount of prescription cortizone cream for my ocassionally itchy ears.

    I take 1000 mg of saw palmetto a day (non prescription) for urinary tract health (any male over 50 should look into it). Ocasionally a postssium pill for my feet as I do up to 20,000 steps a day. Charlie horse I believe. Hurts like hell if you position your feet to cause it. Not a big banana lover. But I should be.

    I am not a pill popping kinda gal.......but

    I do have a prescription for anxiety meds but only take them when I feel an attack coming on and all other calming routines fail.

    (Screw vitamins, eat your veggies, fruits, dairy and protein)

    Only OTC these days.

    I was on SSRIs for a good five years, but completed that part of treatment more than five years ago. They did their job.

    I take Wellbutrin for chronic anxiety/depression (other antidepressants I've taken actually make this worse), meloxicam for osteoarthritis (if I had known I was going to live this long, I'd have fallen off a few less horses and motorcycles in my youth!) and I use Symbicort, an inhaled steroid medicine for asthma, which I've always had.

    I also take Zyrtec for allergies (which is over the counter now), with which I am plagued and have been since birth! I also receive a prednisone injection every 3 months for allergies.
