I take 6 meds everyday, 1 as and when needed and also have 1 med to inject weekly. 2 of them, plus the one I take as needed, were given to me to manage my mental health, 1 plus the injection allow me to use my hands without pain and minimise damage to my joints, 1 is to deal with a vitamin deficiency the injection may cause and the other 2 are to deal with a hormone imbalance. Those meds allow me to function and have a life. I'd rather not have to take them but I wouldn't be able to live the life I do without them
