In the movies you see many characters indulging in various pills to help them cope with their lives. What do you use?

morning : vitamins&minerals complex + BCAA
evening : BCAA
after training protein shake .


in case of geting rid of few kg like i do atm i add fat burner pill to the morning pills and before training

i take them only when i work out intesively like now (2xgym + 2xswimminpool) when i take a breaks from trainings and just do some cardio activity 1-2 a week then just light vitamins complex is enough

Oh you're right. I looked at the bottle and it's 500 mcg. Which I think is 5 mg. Damn yo you're making me nervous. Maybe I shouldn't take it daily...the blood work at my last doctors visit said I was low.

I'd check if you have some form of malabsorption. Do you have IBS or something similar? I know due to my Crohn's Disease, I cannot absorb B12 in my gut so I need to get injections for it. You only need around around 3 mcg a day B12 to keep the body fully supplied, so yeah, you're defo overdosing on B12 dude.

Burpropion since I was young and the difference it has made is staggering.

Used to take Ritalin during medical school but thankfully that intense of a study period is in the past.

I used bupropion (wellbutrin) to try quit smoking once. It was terrible for me, even at the tiny dose of welbutrin. Strange how those kinds of drugs have such different effects on people. I did succeed in quitting smoking at least. For about two years. Then I started again.

Why assume, it's normal to consume pills, apart from vitamins/minerals??

[Deleted]

None currently.

[Ripster42]

Ibuprofen as needed. Claritin a few weeks a year. Multivitamin when I remember, which is about twice a week.

[Pendulous]

Topiramate, though I still get too many headaches.

[Revi]

A few vitamins once a week or so.

[Armakus]

High on life. No pills needed.

This guy gets it!

In all realness, I used to be addicted to smoking weed (Yes, I'm prepared for my inbox to be full of people going "OMG YOU CAN'T BE ADDICTED TO THAT!" Even though there's food and porn addictions.

Anyway, realized I was getting nowhere in life and I'm in a much, MUCH better place now. Haven't smoked in almost two years.

[Henock]

Two big ass Janumet XR tablets once a day. I get the runs 4 times a week because of it. Type 2 diabetes runs rampant through my family. I stand 6 feet 2 inches at 220lbs so I could stand to lose like 30 pounds. Stuff tastes good though...

I got the holy trinity of

1. Carisoprodol (Somas) - A very strong muscle relaxant for my back spasms
2. Xanax - A very strong Benzodiazepine for my anxiety
3. Vicodin (Hydrocodone) - A strong opiate pain reliever for my bad back

I started on Citalopram but along with the weight gain it didn't really help much. Mine is a typical clinical depression with no underlying cause for it other than biochemical imbalances.

As for quitting smoking it can be rough. There are other medial alternatives for it other than Wellbutrin but I think a combination of medication and habit changes work best. Also depending on your social circle or whether you're a stress smoker can make a difference as well when it comes to dropping the habit.

That must be quite debilitating if you're having it take both benzos and an opiate .

well i only take the opiate when i have massive breakthrough pain and i only take the xanax when iam having a massive anxiety attack.

I try to avoid taking them at the same time

Yeah I would recommend against it as well. And if possible when the pain is manageable then to take drug holidays until needed.

[Alvito]

I wonder what kind of movies you watch.

Home movies.

[procne]

Aspirin or paracetamol when I have a headache / cold

[Crackleslap]

Currently none. I'm sure it'll change when I'm old.
