Pain meds-yes, antiseizure stuff, yes, thats about it, other than some cimetidine (a stomach med, that also as a secondary bonus, helps make my morphine/oxy last longer by inhibiting its metabolism, my doc originally had me on ranitidine, and was totally puzzled why on earth I'd ask for cimetidine over ranitidine, as to change from one to the other that is, until I told him he had no idea that little trick even existed)
About to take clonidine, and a couple of muscle relaxers, since my shoulders are aching, I didn't sleep much last night, eventually taking a couple of knock-out pills (nitrazepam, that, plus the chlormethiazole antiseizure stuff (although the latter isn't actually listed in the BNF for seizures in this country, for some reason I managed to get on it, and I far, far prefer it to any other GABAergic option, because of a few reasons-it acts within minutes of the caps opening once swallowed, and whilst its possible for it to be so, I've been on it years, and have built up NO physical dependency to it whatsoever. No withdrawals at all, and on any benzo, barbiturate etc. I KNOW that I would have, to the extent of severe withdrawals if I skipped a dose or even causing seizures (as opposed to just lacking protection from them) of the nastiest, grand-mal variety. I'm surprised at just how little tolerance of any kind I've built to it, the only tolerance I can observe, is that when I was first taking it, it used to cause a short-lived stinging sensation in the back of my nose due to histamine release. Now it doesn't. That, is about the sum total of any and all tolerance type effects whatsoever that it has caused. Over YEARS. Benzos would probably, if taken daily at all, let alone 3xdaily have me hook, line and sinker.
Does bubblegum candy and cigarettes count as medication?...if so then yes, I did, I am and I'm about to further.
Got some dark chocolate covered version of a bounty bar too (chocolate covered coconut filling in a bar. Usually milk chocolate, but these are dark. Much prefer dark chocolate, when it comes to candy. With a few spare oxy I found in my dressing gown pocket to wash it down with.
