Hard for me, too. The only scrip drugs I’ve been on were anti bios a couple times for post surgery and for acne, and birth control pills. I just said Celebrex because those stupid commercials are always in my head.

At least you didn’t type in “Pfizer” and change it to “Merck” at the last minute. So you’ll be well above me in the rankings.

Anyone know the real average number of pills the average 65 year old takes? Several people said ten, and I was going to guess three. Ten seems crazy-high to me–sixty five isn’t all that old. Surely a great deal of 65 y/o are in fine health and take nothing, which would bring the average down, right?
