It's up to 4 now. :eek: One for an under-active thyroid, one for iffy cholestoral numbers, one to combat panic attacks (I wouldn't wish those on anybody!), and one that acts as an emergency back-up for the one that combats panic attacks. :P Thankfully, I very seldom need that one.

Non-prescription -- 1000 mg of ibuprofen (Motrin) daily for knee pain.

I'm a mess. :lol:

None on a daily basis. I take Vicodin for my neck when needed - ruptured disc.

I take 40 milligrams lexapro (2 20 mg pills daily) and about 8 pills of niravam (mouth alprazolam) each day to treat my Severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I'm age 18 and my Psychaitrist said that this is the age that OCD usually begans showing up. It began in July and was quite hellish until I got the medications which are starting to help.
