Answers: Is it that parents aren't paying attention to their kids and don't keep track of their own medicaitons?

The people they are prescribed to do not take responsibility for others being able to access them. They've become so common that people treat them like Tylenol instead as a powerful drug

its not parents it grown people that lie to get their happy pills and sell them and than it fks up people who are serious

It is all of us! I am on Fentanyl, Valium, Lyrica, which I consider to be 'serious drugs?' Would it surprise you to know I was asked by a young male, 28+ to give him one of my Valiums as he has Bi-Polar and wanted 'something' to get him home? I refused! However, few years ago female my age, was left in charge of a Business while Parents went on Vacation. I went to visit one evening and noted the female had blue lips, nails and was throwing open windows and doors, it was cold outside, tolerable inside? Anyway it turned out she had a 'chest infection' and rather than go to the Doc, she got several antibiotics off 'friends' and had taken them! By the time I got her to the Doc, she needed a nebulizer, steroids drugs and antibiotics 30 day supply. Trying to explain that chest infections are 'serious' she was heading for pleurisy and pneumonia, was a uphill task. Trying to explain that antibiotic's for urine infection, will not help a chest infection, a uphill task. Few months later, I had to see my Doc and told him the story. He praised me for not handing over my Valium and then stated 'They come in here with chest infections, I prescribe antibiotics, nine times out of ten they will not fill the prescription due to cost, yet I see the same people at the Pub Friday night spending 200 Dollars on a round of drinks. Likewise, a course is a course, but they stop taking them when they feel better, so always have some lying around!' I was once on Co-Proxmal always have some in the house and at one stage my own Mother was popping them! People seem to think, because they are prescribed for ME, they are prescribed for THEM! One day people will realize, drugs prescribed for the individual are for that person and that person ONLY! It seems to me to be a problem with education. Thankfully I have never asked my Doc for a specific drug, because that is not my expertise. Even with the Co-Proxmal I would get 100 pills and they could last me years. I trust my Doc to prescribed what HE thinks I can handle and my Doc trusts me to keep my drugs under lock and key! I have always been honest with my GP and over the years he has got to know me and in that we have built up a trusting relationship.
