What medications are you guys on?

I'm on:
Advair 500 twice a day
Qvar 4 puffs twice daily
Nexium twice a day
Nasonex twice a day
Allegra-D twice a day
Pulmozyme twice a day
Singulair once a day
prednisone 20mg in the morning, 20 at night
Xopenex twice a day and as needed
Atrovent/Duoneb as needed
Xolair once a month
Tobi for 28 days with infections
Magnesium and multivitamin once a day

I think that's quite enough.

Wow, I feel really healthy compared to all of you!

I'm on:

Prevacid 30mg once a day
Allegra 180mg once a day
Pseudophedrine/Gausifen 795mg/85mg (decongestant) twice a day
Singulair once a day at night
Advair 250/50 as needed
Albuterol inhaler as needed
Zithromax steroid shots every four months
A multivitamin (Centrum)
A calcium pill (the Zithromax can cause bone loss)

And that's it! Once I got the decongestant, I felt SO much better. It really helped. I like the Advair a lot too. On days that I am just having trouble, it really helps out.
