that's it all my medications right by my bedside on the table. Tylenol and Zantac first thing in the morning, then after food, Hydrocodone. which makes for constipation, so I have a powder mix to drink then get the opposite of diarrhea 
also got Pepto-Bismol for upset stomach and Ondansetron for nausea .
Blood pressure medicine pills .
Albuterol capsules to put in my nebulizer and proaire fast action inhaler and spiriva. all for breathing purposes. Not to mention Allegra for allergy's and gas-x for gas.
Is it any wonder why I don't want more added? 
Actually I probably forgot a few but with all that and LOTS of water where am I supposed to find room for food in my stomach? 
Do you have a lot of medicines or maybe you are just still young and healthy?

Dino is on a lot of medication most of them prescription and all of them recommended by his doctors.
I was only taking HBP pills till I ran out and can't get an appointment to have them refilled. So if nothing happens by the time my appointment rolls around I will likely not take them anymore.

I generally have to take something to get to sleep every night.Or my arm, hip and ankle hurt too much to let me sleep. Especially when it is cold. I take night time tylenol. During allergy season I take benadryl. I keep tums and pepto on hand too. But thats about it.

i am in fear of taking things to make me sleep too hard at night because of my breathing. i have been told i might forget to breath in my sleep. 
anyway as it is the Spiriva makes me breath so good it puts me to sleep these days lots of times.

@bunnybon7 Thanks, Bonnie. I try my best, and living so close to Yale University, we have some of the best doctors in the world. I just hope we never need to see them more than we have to.
