Multiple conditions and keeping track of all your medications

I avoid taking medications on a daily basis and try to make lifestyle changes to solve problems. If I read side effects and I read scary side effects, I don't take the medication. For pain, I stick to an OTC pain pill and just take that infrequently. I have been doing this for years. I am 83 and currently my daily medication is a multi vitamin and vitamin D. This sounds extreme but it works for me. Do people actually track a medication to see if it is doing what it is prescribed for and does it cause other problems?

@dietgourmet - Good question, hopefully they work with their doctor to make sure the medication is doing what it is supposed to do and identifying any possible side effects they may be having.
