4. Efivirenz, lamivudine, zidovudine, paroxetine.
And if I paid retail, it would cost me about 1200 bucks a month.

9. Did you ever try Imitrex?
That usually does the trick for me.

My doctor just gave me Midrin. It didn't work worth a damn.

19. Maxalt works for me for migraines.
Also on atenolol and Maxzide for blood pressure, Klonopin for restless legs, and Prozac because it just seems to make life tolerable.

8. 800 mg Motrin
Vicodin when the pain is too bad. Maybe a joint of the good stuff to knock a little of the edge off.

and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

Get a shot every three months and it's over-especially since I tend to forget to take the pill.

30. Thyroid hormone, Lexapro
I started thyroid hormone recently after my mother and brother were diagnosed with hypoactive thyroids. I got tested and then found mine was weak too.
My brother is obese and has a severely low thyroid problem. Luckily, I am only slightly overweight and have only a minor deficiency

38. Anti-allergy meds during the summer
My body hates grass pollen with a vengeance, and it doesn't hesitate to let me know. It's hell. Even with the meds I usually go though at least 1 box of Kleenex per day.
