I take 4 prescription tablets and 3 by choice, two at night.

4 prescription +2 if in pain
1 prescription at night

am trying some glucosamine but if nothing happens after 3 months I will stop buying them.

GP app tomorrow doubtless he will want to add in statin and another BP med.

None - I take no regular medication whatsoever.

My husband takes nine. A lot of them are to counter-balance side effects from the others.
Eg - blood pressure pills make his legs and feet swell so he takes water tablets to get rid of the swelling, it worries me a bit. I feel it would be better to find something that didn't cause the swelling in the first place.
There's another (statin?) makes him cough - so he has codeine (I think) to supress it.
Then there's omeprazole to protect his stomach .....

One
Recently diagnosed hernia.

I try not taking it from time to time.
Like someone else I know in rl, if I dont, I get things[very tiny things like literally one grain of rice] stuck in my throat.

11 in a morning plus 1 to chew,half a one at lunchtime,often forget and 3 at bedtime.
