Medication...am I taking too much?

At the minute I feel I'm taking too much medication and just don't think it's healthy.
I take 7 tablets morning and night and some days midday.
I take a gabapentin for restless legs, omoprezole for gallbladder, buscopan for gallbladder, ferrous sulphate (iron) because I'm anaemic, 2 cocodamol for ear problems and ibuprofen for back pain.

I have also been given a tablet for heartburn and another tablet for restless legs but I feel I'm ok with the 7 a day morn and night without adding another 2.
I just think it's unhealthy for a woman of my age. I'm 29 and eat a good diet and my daughter gives me enough exercise.
Would you say it's too much?

Yes it's loads , I'm 43 and don't take anything .. I always try to fix the problem rather than medicate it . Is it not really bad for you to take codeine regularly?

Iv never been one to take medication I hate taking paracetamol when I have bad menstrual cramps so to be taking all this just seems unhealthy worst part is I have had my gallbladder removed and the pain is still there it's a blocked bile duct.
