How many medications are you on?

It would be interesting to find out how many people are on more than one medication for their mental health.  I am currently on 3 medications, Depakote and Lithium for my BP and Zopiclone to aid sleep.  I realise this is a very basic poll as it does not show how many different types of mental health problems are being experienced but depending on the response this could lead to a further poll about diagnosis etc.

I feel like I'm constantly taking pills, but I was able to change up my meds to extended release on one med so that I'm not taking them all day. I've moved over to
300mgs SeroquelXR @ night
100mgs SeroquelXR@ noon
100mgs Trazadone for Sleep
250mgs Lamactil @night

150mgs Spironolactone for PCOS
40-80mgs Nexxium for GERD
900-1800mgs Tylenol1/day prn or T3(but those trigger my hypomania)
600-1600mgs Motrin/day prn (as last resort for pain)
Dermasone Topical Lotion (for psoariasis) - triggered by meds ugh
10-40mgs Flexeril/day prn - for back pain
Maxalt Wafter/prn - for Migraines
Ativan 1-2mgs/prn
+ glucosamine/chondroitin
+ B complex Vit
+ Multi Vitamin
+ Omega 3's

I didn't realize really how many meds I take until I listed them here - wow
