Hey, buddy! Where are you from? I notice you're from "dixieland"? You couldn't have come to a better place to get your questions answered! And, hmm, you also remind me of myself a little bit, must be a southern thing or I'm not sure. I can't put my finger on it, just your mannerisms are like mine. So stay around after your questions have been answered! You made one of the most interesting threads on here, actually and It doesn't sound like you have too much to learn because you were able to transcribe down those medicines rather craftily for someone who is completely "inexperienced". I'm sure you have some idea of rather what you're taking is safe or not.
Let's get to "business".
Is your doctor a he or a she because you were gender neutral the entire time, it just sounds a bit like my doctor lol, especially considering your name (geographic location) and the number of medications as well as that price. I'll Babblemail you something. Don't give any details until you read that haha.
No, it is NOT NORMAL to be on what I see to be TWELVE MEDICATIONS! I used to on EIGHT and I thought that too many, but in your case, I did a Lexicomp (it's what doctors actually use to check interactions) and Micromedex (a pay-to-use interactions checker) check and you come up clean. There are no contraindications or major interactions between any of your medications; therefore, if all twelve of this medications are essential to your quality of life at this moment, then I suggest that you listen to your healthcare provider and not discontinue any of them unless directed to do so under their guidelines. Usually, when someone is prescribed TWELVE medications, there are major interactions to be wary of, but I simply do not see anything malicious about your cocktail that would advise discontinuation of anything that would jeopardize therapeutic benefit so my personal suggestion is to remain on all of your medications as directed.
