I know this will vary a lot, but I was hoping to get some ideas about how you all take your meds. Especially the ones that can make you dizzy or sleepy. I know you're not doctors and are not trying to prescribe anything. I just would like to hear your stories.
I am taking Copaxone (sometimes), Baclofen, Neurontin, Xanax, Clonazepam, Miralax, Librax, Synthroid Omeprazole, Ambien, Lidoderm patches and Restasis. Now, I'm not taking all of these every day. Many are taken as needed. I'm just always afraid to take too much or to take a combination too close together. My pharmacist tells me that the small amounts I take are safe, even in conjunction with each other. The doctors and the pharmacist know that I usually take half doses.
I'm just having a hard time working up a schedule to keep myself from making any mistakes. I write down everything I take and the time, but sometimes forget one.
I know this is a lot to ask, but I was hoping that some of you could give me an idea of how and what you are prescribed. I know that a lot of people take a lot more meds than I do. The Synthroid and Omeprazole have to be taken on empty stomachs and about an hour before eating. I will soon be adding something for Osteoporosis which will muddy the waters even more.
Thanks for trying.
