Not for AS, but I do have to take the following for my epilepsy:

1200mg of Tegretol ret*d (three 200mg tablets, morning and evening)
300mg of Lamotrigine (one 100mg and one 50mg tablet, morning and evening)

And now that it's summer, I also have to take these for my hayfever:

120mg of Telfast (one tablet a day)
Sodium cromoglycate eyedrops, two drops twice a day
Beclometasone nasal spray, two puffs per nostril twice a day
Ventolin inhaler, as and when I need it.

Good grief. Exchanging all that for one or two Prozac a day would be a blessing

I'm on Dilantin and Zoloft. Every so often, I also take a Xanax if I get tightness in my chest.

My son is on Strattera to help him concentrate. He only takes it on school days.

have been taking Lexapro which is an anti-anxiety med. I'm looking to switch though because it gets rid of anxiety but it also kills things like motivation, joy, giving a darn about anything, etc. such side effects have had serious effects on my grades this semester. I also take Concerta which is like a twelve hour ritalin I can't stand not to take it and when it wears off I KNOW.

No. I take Estrogen, but that has nothing to do with AS, so I'm not counting that.

Too late, ZanneMarie, you mentioned it so you have to count it!

I'm not on anything, I've asked/hinted at wanting something for my crazy mood swings but my therapist has prescribed exercise first.

I don't take medication any more.

I used to take Adderall but after a while, that stuff was just toxic to me. It ended up making me a zombie.

I feel cleaner and not as polluted not being on the stuff. And that goes for all meds. I just feel polluted by the crap. I like having a clean system.
