I take a whole long list of stuff. Started on most of this after I had my hysterectomy 6 years ago. Prescription meds........I take a blood pressure med (Verapamil) not for high blood pressure, which I've never had, but because it works on my trigeminal neuralgia pain. I take Premarin for hormone replacement and just started on Zetia for high choleserol 2 weeks ago.
Supplements.....I generally buy whatever brand I have coupons for, none of them seem to bother me. Every morning I take a multi-vitamin, COQ10, vitamin E, primrose oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin C, glucosomine, 81 mg aspirin, calcium. At dinner time I take fish oil and acidopholis. At bedtime I take calcium with magnesium and zinc (since I started on that, my bone density has improved!) and another vitamin E.
I started on the fish oil about a year ago hoping it would lower cholesterol but it didn't work. Not really sure if I should continue to take it along with the Zetia but havent' made up my mind about that yet. I tried the red yeast rice but it bothered me.....made me feel like I was speeding along and nervous and shaky.
Yes, it seems like a lot, but after I had my hysterectomy, I couldn't take hormones for 6 months because I'd had so much endometriosis. I took black cohosh for several years but stopped taking that recently......just decided I probably didn't need it anymore, and I haven't noticed any difference. Anyway during that time my doc suggested trying the primrose oil, flaxseed oil, and several of the other things, and I continue to take them because I feel good most of the time and figure all these supplements must be contributing to that. I started on the COQ10 because I'd read that it could help with the Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Sometimes when we go on trips or have company and I get off schedule as far as my supplements (miss taking them for a few days or whatever) I can tell a difference. I feel better when I take them on a regular schedule.
