1st question. How many meds do you take daily? What meds and what for?
I moved to St. Louis found out that Medicaid is different here than Indiana.
I've been taking same meds since Rehab Hospital. Which I knew were more than
most other quads I knew but never questioned because I knew each person was
different. But now I need to reassess my meds. The Dr. I've gone to here
doesn't now much about quads as I'd expect. My last Dr. I was her 1st quad
patient.
Anyway I've been taking axid daily since Aug. 98. Since I've been in St.
Louis I ran out a few weeks back. Medicaid here guess doesn't fully cover it
the pharmacy told me that I'd have to pay $54.00 for script. I decided it
wasn't an option I've not taken it in weeks have not noticed any difference.
A few yrs back I stopped taking the anti depressants after I finally got out
of my system I've been fine. A bout of depression here and there but I'd
have them even without being quad. :)
Here's the other meds I'm taking.
Gabapentin 300mg 3 times daily
Oxybutynin 5mg 3 times daily
Effexor 37.5mg 1 time daily
Fludrocortisone 1 time daily
Tizanidine 4mg 1 in morn. 2 evening
Fexofenadine 180mg 1 time daily
Ducosate sod cap 100mg I take 1 every evening supposed to take 2 a day
Vitamin C 1 a day
Multi Vitamin 1 a day
Can I probably cut back or stop some of these at this point. Almost 8yrs
post? I'm going 2 talk 2 my Dr. next appt. but wanted real advice 1st. :)
