Adult Disability Report - SSA-3368 - Medicines

So now it's time to list your meds!  Round up all of your prescription medicine's that you are now taking, as well as other OTC (over the counter) meds that you are taking.  Not only list the name of the meds, but also write above the med name how many milligrams and how often it's taken.  Be sure to list the name of the Dr. that prescribed it (it will be on the bottle).  In addition to listing the reason for the medicine, make a notation above the reason of any side effects it caused my clients (ie., "causes extreme sleepiness", "makes me nauseated", "causes dizziness").  These side effects are important to note.  Remember, any tid bit of info you can provide helps to "paint a picture" for the Disability Examiner when reviewing your claim.  Besides (or instead of) their prescription meds (see my post about getting assistance with prescription meds, as well as the link on the side bar for help), many take OTC things like Ibuprofen, vitamins, or use humidifiers, hot pads, or ice packs to help relieve them of their symptoms.  Don't forget to list these as well.
