Not yet

My parents were usually too stingy for medicine. I remember when my dad had like this Killer Fever of Death in 1997, and his remedy was to wrap himself in blankets and lie down by the fire

It worked in the sense that he didn't die, but allegedly the aftereffects haunt him to this day.

I just started to take One a Day for my metabolism. Been on it for three days and no lie, I'm happier and more hyper than I usually am. But it makes me feel fantastic at work, even when I'm tired. Also, I haven't been munching that much a work since I started taking them. And I'm drinking a lot more water. I mean, I drink a lot of water, but I drink even more now.

Xolair: Each month I get a shot filled with Xolair. It's to help with my asthma. When I lost my job and insurance, I had to stop for a few months and I noticed a changed. When I was on it, I didn't get sick and my asthma was in control. I've started it up again and I have been sick since starting it again, but hopefully that will change.

Advair: Just been bumped down to the lowest dosage. I take this twice a day to help with my asthma and allergies. This really helps me out.

I also have a rescue inhaler, an epi-pen (just in case) and some nasal spray that makes me smell roses.

Oh, I do take those multivitamin thingies because I eat horribly. Do those count as medicines?

I think their more of a vitamin...meh, whatever, I'm not going to edit my post.

Thing with me, I don't eat a lot and I think my metabolism is out of whack because of it.

Nope!

Granted, I don't want to jinx anything...

But I've been lucky so far. The odd prescription but that's it.

Currently, I take a chemical equivalent of Ritalin.

Not too long from now I'm going to go through some more trials to see if I need more or less than what I'm taking.

This.

Otherwise I've been taking stuff for migraines since ever.

Also when I was younger I had this machine that heated up whatever it was and I'd breathe it for an hour every day. I don't really remember much about it though, but it looked quite serious. But that only was for like two months, so I guess it doesn't count.

Are you talking about a machine that when you breath in, smoke comes out of it?

No, you breathe the smoke, which goes through a tube to a face mask so it's not like you can't.
Actually it was vapor of the water and whatever chemicals it used.

I'm supposed to take Zyrtec, Advair, and a Multivitamin every day (for allergies) but... I keep forgetting. I seem to do quite fine without them.

I've just recently started taking Aleve at my mother's suggestion to help me with this injured hip. She says it will help heal the muscles, but I'm not sure how. At least I'm able to go walking for exercise again (sometimes).

Prozac, 20 mg.

Though lately I haven't been as good as taking them as I should, but I'm doing just as well without them.

Nothing at all.

Although technically caffeine is a drug, and I do have a small amount of that every day.

I've taken something similar to that several times before when I was younger and a few as an adult. But I didn't have a mask, more like a tube.
