I often wake up with migraines, because I probably fudged up a neck muscle previously. For that, I take ibuprofen.

Not counting my antidepressants, I take magnesium, multivitamins, omega 3, and selenium.

Growing up, with the same diet and all, I never needed these things, and I only needed an ibuprofen when I was actually sick:/ I'm 28, darn it

31, I took lexapro from 28-30 and it fucked me up. Got rid of my anxiety and depression but also made me gain like 45 pounds, sweat uncontrollably no matter what I did, and lose most of my emotions.

Thankfully off that now, still have some anxiety and depression but better than that alternative. I do take a vitamin C and D supplement every day now cause covid fucked my immune system up. Then I have a drawer full of metamucil pills and ibuprofen for when I get random pains and constipation.

I'm mid thirties and I don't take anything really. I take a multivitamin but I'm iffy if that even does anything. I already eat rather healthy so that vitamin is probably a waste.

Find a certificated massage therapist place near you. Make sure they are called by that title and not masseuse or any of those other junk names. They should be able to find that locked up muscle and fix it to stop those migraines. The muscle might actually be in your shoulders or back and it's causing referred pain in your neck.

Have you tried any other meds similar to lexapro? My wife tried 2-3 different ones with negative side effects before landing on lexapro which works for her. Everyone reacts to those meds differently.

28 and never been to the doctor once in my adult life. Take no medication, except occasionally antihistamines when my allergies are particularly nasty. Been a good few years since I've needed them, though.

Could some cure my ignorance and explain why so many people are taking multivitamins?

Ouch. I took lexapro for 2 years as well, though just a small 5 mg dose. Helped with anxiety, but....I wanted my sex life back. It also feels like it took almost 2 years to get rid of some of the side effects. But got my dick back instantly at least.

As for vitamins I take D and Omega 3 daily along with some "natural" statin pill to maintain cholesterol levels in check. I'm 36.

Most vitamins are a scam. Most people shouldnt be deficient in most vitamins and minerals as long as they eat a balanced diet...which many people dont.

Also not going to the dr isnt a flex. Youre 28 so you still have young people powers of invulnerability, but many things like hypertension and diabetes can creep up on you if you dont know your numbers for cholesterol, trygs, glucose..etc.

You should go to the doctor. Like I went when I was 30 and found out I was hypertensive cuz I was overweight. (My systolic blood pressure was 140), so it made me lose 35lbs and it brought it back down to 120 which is normal. But having high blood pressure over a long period of time can damage your organs and kidneys, so you need to know if you have that because you probably won't feel it >_>

I'm 43 and haven't gone to a doctor or taken prescription/otc drugs since my teenage years.

I never get headaches. I very rarely get stomach aches but those pass naturally. I don't get seasonal allergies. I've been super skinny all my life and I exercise daily and eat healthy.

I will admit my mental health is absolutely screwed up.

Early 30s

All I take is omega 3/fish oil pill every other day. And allergy pills as needed. Whey protein shake after intense workouts.

Been an athlete all my life, and have worked on my diet and nutrition for a decade. I'm in a great spot.

Not yet, but wear and tear is an eventuality. There's no guarantee that you'll be taking meds, just a higher chance as things wear down.

Other than a very brief stint with an antidepressant for sleep(which didnt even work) I've been med free. I do have diagnosed anxiety and old but I decided to go against my docs advice and went the natural route with meditation. Not that I have anything against meds. For me personally I just don't like the way they make me feel.

This should be the route to take. When I started have cholesterol, BP and anxiety issues my cardiologist put me on more than 5 pills. It took a toll on my body and mental health. Started doing, exercise, eating mostly plant based and I feel better than I did during my 20's. Pills are effective, but for a lot of people they should be an aid while you make lifestyle changes.

Wasn't a flex. Just a statement. But it does come from just generally feeling healthy enough that it seems needless. I probably should have a checkup, eventually.

And cheers for the info on vitamins. I imagine for some conditions they're necessary, but I find it hard to imagine they make up the majority of people taking them in this topic.
