Prescription Drugs

What a society we live in where seemingly healthy young people die from prescription medication.

Look at the news just recently about a young actor Heath Ledger 29 years old looked to be in good shape physically from the photos shown on the news programs just before his death. How does this happen to such gifted and talented people?

I think it is a shame that doctors would prescribe so many medicines for a seemingly healthy person maybe he did have numerous issues but I don't think over medicating is the where with all answer. Too many people mix legal drugs in their system and it causes addtional health issues. It is too easy these days to get the so called quick fix for are small discomfort that we are having. They have a pill for just about anything that ails us, but what about the interaction with other drugs that might already be in our system. More education needs to done concerning medication interaction.

The truth be told we probably don't need have the medications that are prescribed,if we would eat right and exercise and do things that would enhance us mentally and physically we wouldn't have to take pills to make us supposedly feel better or help us sleep or just take the edge off of feeling a little ill. We need to get back to taking control of our own lives and stop letting drug companies do it. They really don't know each of us and drugs react differently in people. Doctors try to do what they can with each of us individually but I don't think they realize all the dangers in certain medications especially if we are seeing more than one doctor.

Moral of the story take control of yourself as stated previously treat yourself better and you might not need medication so there is no chance for error. Till next time
