Possibly my tenth, maybe more since the turn of the century. We got on the subject of meds, and because, my latest revelation that Gabepentin is having side effects and now I'm not taking it, I feel better for it as well.Statins were mentioned and rejected, as was beta blockers and other meds, that I won't take. Then pain killers, this lead to a discussion on ingredients in these tablets and it was found that, my levels of intolerance to many of these ingredients were too much for me. So much that many stronger pain killers would cause other health issues and would be too much for the discomfort I am experiencing. And totally OTT!  So I'm stuck on paracetemol, which are obviously lactose free!I have seen first hand what pain killers can do over time!So from eight tablets a day, not including paracetamol, which I do try to ration, I am down to one of Sitagliptin, and one of Irbesartan for hypertension, which my GP insisted on.Is anyone else as intolerant to meds, as I have found?</blockquote>
