And what are you taking and why are you taking it?

Do you feel America is becoming dependent on prescription medications, and how do you think it will affect the rest of your life or society in whole?

Lisinopril for high BP, and Lantus and Humalog for the ol' diabetes. I was able to kick cholesterol meds with some simple diet changes, the BP seems to remain at a constant though, and without the insulin, I would have been dead 30 years ago!

I don't take any medications. When I work out I take supplements, but that's all. Around this time of year I'll pop an allergy pill 3 or 4 times a week to prevent problems.



The most I take is Aleve, approximately once every other month when I get a headache.



My wife, however, has 7 or 8 prescriptions.

Vitamin B12 injections - result of ileectomy and Crohn's

Methotrexate - maintenance med for Crohn's Disease

Birth Control - ain't gon' have no bebies

Folic Acid to protect her liver from all the medications

and 3 or 4 others I won't name.

I'm on anti-rejection meds for my kidney transplant.
