Yes, I take other meds. The medication regimen I am on today is different than the ones I was taking at the time the anemia started. There are thyroid meds(both T3 & T4), pain meds(at that time it would have been percocet & zanaflex), glucophage(for PCOS), acid reflux meds(aciphex & pepcid), as well as psychotropic meds. Possibly a B-complex also. I have undergone upper and lower GI's since the diagnosis of anemia, and no bleeding was found. Now, I take iron pills three times a day.
