how many pills do you take a day?

[jobell]

I recently added an additional vitamin to my usual intake, plus I was just diagnosed with silent reflux, so I have to take a pill for that in the mornings. With these new additions, I now take 5 or 6 pills a day (plus a nasal spray!) between vitamins, my prescription, BC and sometimes Vitamin C if I think I'm coming down with something. DH takes about 4 or 5 vitamin pills alone each day.

Just curious - how many pills do you take on a daily basis?

[Brie]

2 pills (allergy and asthma meds) and one inhaler (asthma) daily. I have a second rescue inhaler I take occasionally.

I also take prenatal vitamins, but they're gummies, so not pills per se.

1 - my birth control

I know, I know, I should be taking a multi, but I don't.

[mrs.jacinthe]

0. I try to eat most of my vitamins and minerals. W're not TTC so no prenatal. After I turn 35 or 40, I will add a calcium supplement.

[kimsy]

Eight--BC, prenatal plus omega 3, four fibercon, and a probiotic.

[grk2012]

4.5 daily, ibuprofen as needed for various maladies. Two calcium supplements, a PNV (instead of a multi), and 1.5 pills of a prescription.

5
3 morning-BC, multi, fish oil
2 night-probiotic & other Rx

[Wines Not Whines]

1 or 2 - a multivitamin and Claritin, but I usually only take the latter in April and May.

[flex1102]

BC, and a prenatal when I can remember. I also have biotin (for hair) I take every once and a while.

[Deleted]

Morning: antiepileptic
Evening: BC, 2x 1 mg folic acid pills, 1 antiepileptic

I ran out of my mutli and keep forgetting to pick it up but that would be in the evening as well.

[abramos]

Short answer: alot
Long answer (right now)
PNV, DHA, DHEA, Vit D, B-12, calcium, wheat grass, bee pollen, maca and Zyrtec (every other day)

All these are supposed to help with my egg quality?!?! FU IF

[emilyj]

Too many (for my taste).

4g of fish oil/day which equals 4 pills, preventative migraine med (4 pills), and 1 bcp. Some nights I also take melatonin.

[Deleted]

Too many, it seems. Not counting the current NSAID therapy:
AM- synthroid, famotidine (heartburn), appetite suppressant (also temporary)
PM- famotidine, Zyrtec, iron, prenatal, vitamin c, omega 3, and fiber gummies

I also use NuvaRing but this is my last month on it, hopefully. And I take 50,000iu vitamins d once a week

[katiecj]

None.
But I do take 2 adult gummy vitamins a day.

I cannot stomach regular multi vitamins.

[kellina]

4- multivit, 2 of Calc/Mag/Zinc, and another extra Mag....

The 600mg of Mag a day is helping my migraines!!! YAY!

[ladyk]

I have a history of blood clots so I'm on lifetime blood thinners. So 3 pills there (same script), bc (mini pill-no estrogen), multi vitamin, flaxseed & extra calcium

[breezy8407]

Prenatal, fish oil (2), calcium, Vit. D, probiotics, and more milk plus while bfing/nursing.

[tardyfortheparty]

Just prenatal

[shauni27]

5-BCP, multi vitamin, melatonin most nights, script for my acid reflux, zyrtec. Sometimes a muscle relaxer if my neck is really jacked.

[shelbyann]

None.

My parents were super in to vitamins when I was growing up and I'd take several different ones twice a day. I hated it. I guess I'm still rebelling.

[lightbulbsun]

4 - bcp, allergy (for now - I don't need it year-round), 2 multi-vitamins

[shorty20]

I take 7.

1 BCP, 1 for my thyroid, 2 for my skin and 3 vitamins

[statwaldy]

Pre-pregnancy I took Move Free (joint supplement), Vit D, multivitamin and sometimes probiotics. Also I did wheatgrass shots every day.

Now I take a prenatal, Viactiv and Slow Fe (for iron).

[joenali]

Two. BC and Levothyroxine (sp?).I should take some vitamins I guess, i tried a multivitamin but it made me so sick to my tummy, so I gave up!

[sitnspin]

Vitamin B, Fish Oil, CQ10, Vitamin C (just lately and plan to stop soon).

So, 4 per day.

[mdd]

2. Levoxyl for my thyroid and BC. I get all my vitamins from food.

[sadlebred]

Migraine preventatives (2), GERD (1), BCP, magnesium, and a multivitamin. I also take potassium on days I ride hard to help with leg cramping.
