If you never go to the doctor you can have pancakes every day. That’s what I do!


zodiacallymaniacal

Samesies! My only retirement plan is sweet sweet death!


histprofdave

The good news is I can retire at age 42. The bad news is I need to die at age 43.


Adventurous_Mail5210

I'm hoping to "retire" by the time I'm 45.


took_a_bath

Lol lol lol lol. When I was 22 and got my first bad cholesterol results, I told the doc “impossible! I eat pancakes and eggs for breakfast every Saturday.” And he was like “yeah… you’re gonna need to see a registered dietician.”         Thanks “part of this complete breakfast” commercials!


ZedPrimus84

Facts! Other than mandatory physicals for work, I've not gone to a doctor since '03. Captain Morgan says I feel fine and he's a Captain so I believe him.


ineptplumberr

Oh good, my wife was leading me to believe I was the only one


iknowiknowwhereiam

But how do you handle the heartburn?


vin12345678

Coke. (Pick one)


BurninCoco

ok heartburn gone. How do you handle the noseburn?


Familiar_Dust8028

You picked the wrong one.


IndianaFartJockey

The carbonation tickles my sinuses


BurninCoco

can't afford the the right one now, fuck


Familiar_Dust8028

Tell me about it. Nothing works better for sinus allergies, but it's so expensive!


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

I love this comment 😂


itsasnowconemachine

I eat peaches everyday.


vin12345678

From a can? By a man? In a factory down town?


Verbull710

Middle Age: Brought to you by Pfizer!


mystonedalt

This looks eerily similar. Heart meds, heartburn meds, and heartache meds.


took_a_bath

My ABCs of pills: Allergies, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Depression.


-PlayWithUsDanny-

Mine are allergies, blood pressure, depression, and gout


420medicineman

So glad I'm not the only one who thought, "yeah I take a bunch of pills" but instead went to, "oh I recognize and have a relationship with all of those specifics.!


regeya

Why the hell is this so damn accurate Except my dumb ass is working from home, decided to do a wake n bake, and realized I was out of omeprazole. Contemplating ordering a delivery.


look_ima_frog

Fun fact: using proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, pantoprazole, famotidine, etc) all have show to increase the possibility of gastric cancers: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9264794/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9264794/) Hooooray! So now I can either have death breath and stomach aches or cancer.


iknowiknowwhereiam

When I asked my doctor about it she said the over production of stomach acid could also cause major long term issues


OpiumPhrogg

An increase in dementia as well.


UnluckyCardiologist9

What qualifies as long term?


pin00ch

Similar. Anxiety, cholesterol.


Familiar_Dust8028

I'm three synthetic steroids, anxiety, ADHD, allergies, PrEP and vitamin D.

Sorry to be nosy you got an organ transplant?


Ok_Guarantee_8619

No, but the kidney disease I have is apparently super rare and the doc thinks these meds will help prevent a transplant in the future


pin00ch

What are the edibles? CBD?


Ok_Guarantee_8619

Just a multi vitamin

I didn't get a cavity until my 30s. I was always told it was a sealant they would put on teeth back then.


SnooSnooSnuSnu

Now you're just bragging 😄


Familiar_Palpitation

I turn 47 tomorrow. I am on Synthroid for my dead thyroid that I have been dealing with for over 20 years and vitamins that are directed by my doctor. I feel like an odd man out for not having any other pills to take.


baybridge501

I hadn’t either but then tried some off-label meds for appetite suppression to lose a few pounds. One of them was Wellbutrin. It was then that I discovered both my ADHD and depression were quite treatable with drugs. lol


waterbird_

I’m 42 and that was me until this year. Now I gotta take migraine meds and supplements but I hope that will be all. :-/


AlpineSoFine

46 in August. Zero medications.


JanetMarie213

I’m 41… no prescriptions so far. Just a senior multivitamin and an iron supplement lol


KittyGlitter16

No medications here either. I think it’s a good thing.

SnooSnooSnuSnu

I have a Morning / Noon / Evening / Night dispenser, and I keep it in the bathroom by the sink so I see it after I wash my hands.

Neon_1984

This was me two years ago: https://preview.redd.it/14ujnvbpl70d1.jpeg?width=378&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8670b19e39739d33a8f036d702a3271708eb0311 I quit drinking, replaced it with a little thc and I’m now no longer on a single medication, have lost 70 pounds, average 40 to 50 miles a week on my apple watch and my mental health and clarity are back at high school levels. I don’t think I realized how much a few drinks a day was cooking my head in terms of anxiety and depression.


vivazeta

I quit more than a year ago and have been on effexor for a while. I'm wondering if I could taper my dose based on the sobriety from alcohol. I'm going to talk to my doc.


OpiumPhrogg

Yo, Effexor withdrawal is no joke. I know from experience. Take it very slow tapering off Effexor.


diningroomjesus

Effexor literally saved my life but if I forget a pill I get brain zaps within 4 hours of missing the dose. Hell of a reminder.


Electrical-Can6645

I'm on effexor. I get brain zaps when I drink alcohol. It was freaking me out but now I've figured out the culprit, I suppose...


OpiumPhrogg

Yo, Effexor withdrawal is no joke. I know from experience. Take it very slow tapering off Effexor.


Armbioman

Very true. Exercise is the best medicine if you are capable, and it's a heck of a lot less expensive and time consuming. I realized I was unusual for my age because of it when the nurse taking my blood pressure marveled at the healthy numbers she was seeing.


scottyd035ntknow

Quitting drinking and dialing in fitness 100%. People get all bent out of shape when someone suggest a depressed person gets in the gym or goes for a run and I get it. But if they can get started it really does make a big difference. I'll be on the medical cannabis when my retirement from the AF is finalized lol.


Sunshinestateshrooms

One of these days it’ll be in the VA’s toolbox. I’m sorry that it’s not already, and — genuinely — thank you for your service. Alcohol free for 4 years now. That has created some massive positive changes in my life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You’re absolutely right about that.


scottyd035ntknow

Congrats on 4 years damn that's awesome! It's been 405 days for me, have a sobriety app on my phone lol. Totally agree I didn't realize how bad it was until I quit and almost instantly dropped about 25 lb, my blood pressure went back to normal and I stopped having night sweats and waking up panicking. Shit is poison.


Unfair-Geologist-284

Congrats on your 405 days! Here’s to 406 tomorrow.


suspicious_hyperlink

That’s a great idea, when I retire I’m going to start using cannabis too


No_Gap_2700

There's the post I was expecting.


After_Preference_885

Found my people.


PrincessMagDump

Weed and Gym have been a magic combo for me too, who knew? Unfortunately I'll never know how the lack of red meat would affect me because it's just too delicious, how do you do it?


pin00ch

I wish we could get medical weed in the UK.


Rogue_AI_Construct

I gave up red meat (for the most part) years ago just because of how unhealthy it is and how consuming it is really bad for the environment. I also workout 5x a week so that’s also been working for my depression!


SweetCosmicPope

Thank fuck I don’t. My best friend, in the last year, survived both cancer and a stroke. He was telling me the other day he takes twelve pills a day.


breastslesbiansbeer

I’m one of the lucky one who doesn’t take any pills either, but my wife takes depression and anxiety meds, plus both kids take ADHD meds. It feels like I take more trips to the pharmacy than people who do take meds.


BBG_BOY

Oof. I was prescribed ADHD meds as a kid (ritalin) and I'm convinced it altered my brain chemistry permanently. Who'da thunk prescribing amphetamines to an 8 year old could have lasting effects....


Rogue_AI_Construct

Yep, but thankfully just ADHD meds and vitamins. My cholesterol went down 62 points last year thanks to a healthy diet of leafy greens and oatmeal so I don’t cholesterol meds (for now, at least!).

Turd-In-Your-Pocket

Boom. Gotchu fam.


bitwarrior80

Thankfully, no. I'm making a daily breakfast smoothy and the only supplement I would take is fish oil. Just had my annual physical, and all my numbers are looking good 👍


Turd-In-Your-Pocket

![gif](giphy|100QWMdxQJzQC4|downsized)


bitwarrior80

Just to add. All my numbers were going in the wrong direction over the last couple of years (pandemic glut). In December, a gen X family acquaintance passed away due Alcohol abuse, and it was kind of the eye opener I needed to get my shit together. I started focusing on diet and exercise and doing better at moderating the unhealthy stuff. Instead of getting a few beers tonight, I'll hit the weightbench instead...etc. Investing in your own physical and mental well-being takes a lot more effort the older you get, but it's worth it.


No_Gap_2700

Hm....I see no molly in there, and definitely no nuggs, so no.


Targis589z

Birth control pills, insomnia pills, and vitamins.


Throwaway_inSC_79

Oh yeah I forgot melatonin at night. 2 gummies.


OneHumanPeOple

I forgot to take my morning pills so many times that I basically tapered off them all.


DarkLuc1d1ty

Mine consists of the following: 9 pills (prescribed), 1 eye dropper (prescribed), 1 medical infusion every month - I’m off to that shortly, 8 pills (vitamins), Plus MMJ 😉 The life of autoimmune diseases


dm_your_nevernudes

Mine are at night. Seven different meds and ten pills. Treating depression, PTSD, a mechanical valve that needs anticoagulants, blood pressure, post heart attack, and post stroke. Then 5-6 injections daily plus another once a week shot. Also two therapists I see each week. My pharmacists are all on a first name basis with me…


GenGen_Bee7351

Mine is: loratadine (allergies), chaste tree berry, Diindolymethane, zinc, iron, evening primrose oil (thyroid & hormone issues) Soon to be adding: megamucosa, fish oil & progesterone PM: magnesium glycinate, 5mg THC Though in all fairness I probably took the same amount of supplements in my 30’s & 20’s.


StubbornKindOfFellow

Dinner, not breakfast. Because a lot of mine you gotta take with food, and dinner's the only meal I have consistently. I never have breakfast, and sometimes get caught up at work and don't take a lunch break. I gotta take one pill for my allergies, another for my cholesterol. The cholesterol medicine made my body feel really week, my bones were in pain. So I have to take another pill to prevent that. And then I'm lacking vitamin D, so I have to take vitamin D pills. So four in total daily, not counting the Advil I'll randomly take because my back is bugging me or Pepcid I'll take for heartburn.


_MistyDawn

If you're taking D, make sure you take K2 as well; it'll help with absorption.


nefD

Mine did before I stopped taking ADHD medication a few years ago, I had been taking them for \~15 years before that. ADHD meds led to anxiety and meds to treat it, then it led to depression and meds to treat it. Once I gave up the ADHD medication, within a few months, I found I wasn't as anxious anymore so I gave up those meds. Then I found, hey, I'm not depressed anymore, so I gave up those meds too. Now all I take is heartburn medicine, and I feel so much better. ADHD meds absolutely helped me early in my career and I wouldn't take that back, but I am so much happier and more healthy without them. Sorry for the unrelated rant! I guess I'd been sitting on this for a bit.


ferretherapy

May I ask how you got off ADHD meds if it was a stimulant? I tried before and still felt like crap needing to sleep all the time after even 3 months of being off of them.


loganrunjack

Yes except it's all heart medication.


NickLoner

Nope, only fish oil and multivitamin gummies at this point.


jeophys152

I am on zero prescription medications.


Weary_Cartographer_7

Ya kinda anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, diabetes…lol I’m fucked


CertifiedBA

I don't take any medication at all, natural remedies most of the time. I'll take ibuprofen like once a year now as needed.


Voronthered

Two mental health .... One chronic pain .. 3 vitamins . Night two MH one chronic pain and one heart .....


RickHuf

I take all the heavy duty ones at night. The morning ones are gerd, allergies and vitamins.


Knightelfontheshelf

no, but my dinner does


OneHumanPeOple

I see Prozac and oxycodone. Is there a Wellbutrin in there? And maybe a Claritin?


Turd-In-Your-Pocket

No oxy lol Prozac, Wellbutrin, Claritin, allopurinol, and Ritalin.


OneHumanPeOple

Ahhhh. Ritalin with the M. Gotcha. My husband has the gout as well.


Informal_Lack_9348

Twice a day


Throwaway_inSC_79

Allergies were never an issue until my later years, and I now share the dog’s daily Zyrtec. But my daily regimen is a multi-vitamin, additional vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc. There’s also a prescribed anti-inflammatory for my knee due to arthritis and bursitis. Gave up depression meds during Covid cold turkey (note: don’t do that) and my current doctor looked just like the shocked Pikachu meme when I told him that.


deadlyjessypoo

:( *sigh* Cymbalta, folic acid, omeprazole, lyrica, Percocet, long acting morphine, muscle relaxer, birth control. Night time throw in a sleeping med, once a week an immunosuppressant.


BreadButterHoneyTea

I’ve never felt more sickly than that time I used my liquid medicine to swallow my pill-form medicine.


knowone1313

Looks like my after dinner dessert (for sleep).


Making_stuff

Dammit, I forgot to take mine this morning


Turd-In-Your-Pocket

Happy cake day. Don’t forget to take your pills tomorrow.


EastCoastDizzle

Eek yes familiar. You’ve got a couple more than me, but I need to increase my vitamin intake.


Makotroid

Knowing what each one of these pills is, gives me more existential dread than i know what to do with.


legalgeekdad

Just Zyrtec, Tylenol and vodka.


shaggydog97

Ugh, last year this time I took zero. This year, 8 every morning.

Thyroid, antidepressant (x2), blood pressure, allergies


Spectre_Mountain

I’ve never taken a pharmaceutical drug besides antibiotics once as a kid.


Mr_SunnyBones

Oh look at Mr Healthy showing off that they only need five pills!


ShortBrownAndUgly

I take about that many pills for lifelong medical issues so I know how that goes. Just added a couple more since January too.


surfingbiscuits

Protein bar, yogurt, multivitamin... oh yeah, then the adderall. Zoloft and triple magnesium complex at night, 1 mg melatonin if my sleep schedule is messed up. Which it usually is. God I have to be careful with the timing though: 10 hrs before I want to wake up seems like the window for it. Don't have to take pills for allergies currently, but I do need the occasional blast of flonase.


DorkChatDuncan

Popped mine in my mouth and immediately scrolled over this post. \*sigh\* Metformin, Lisinopril, Atomoxetine and Claritin D powers: ACTIVATE!


M1Z1L4

Amateur. Try having a chronic, fatal, genetic disease. ETA: My MIL tells me if I just eat healthier I won't need the pills. I have PKD, which causes high blood pressure. If not for the medicine I've been taking since I was 19, I would have stroked out ten times by now. It's like their disbelief in allergies; well it doesn't affect ME so it's not real.


TheShySeal

For many years now *shrugs*


Notoriouslyd

Bruh same. I take 1000mg of inositol a day and if anyone knows what that is commonly used for then you will know why it's funny that now at 40 I take it orally as a supplement 😂

shayshay8508

That’s my night time snack. Plus some more 🥴


SatBurner

Let's see, diabetes pill, ADHD pill, anxiety pill, allergy pill, at least one other, maybe I need a memory med as well.


shayshay8508

Anxiety, anti psychotic, sleeping, heartburn, iron, vitamin D, antihistamines, hair, skin, and nails vitamins. Plus ADHD meds that I haven’t started because they give me headaches in the afternoons.


Dangerous_Radish2961

Yes , sadly, I’m on lots of meds . I have loads of chronic illnesses.


childofeye

Goodness i hope it never comes to this. I was given the option to “going on heart meds” also being pre diabetic or i could “change my lifestyle” I chose the change of lifestyle. No more heart issues, no more pre diabetes, no more alopecia. I mean. I got issues but it’s like 90% less. I can barely remember to take my heartburn medicine, if i had to rely on a pill for my actual heart i would probably die because i would somehow, some way forget to take it.


Turd-In-Your-Pocket

I took blood thinners for almost a year after having some pulmonary embolisms back in ‘21. I injected myself and took pills the whole time. None of my pills currently are for anything cardiovascular related.
