Are you on way too many medications and don't know what to do?!
Question: Are you on way too many medications and don't know what to do!?
I'm wondering how many people in America are suffering from this problem:
A friend of mine is seeing three different doctors for various "problems"!. They have him on a total of 5 different prescriptions and he takes a few over-the-counter medications, smokes cigarettes and drinks Diet Coke like it's going out of style!.
He wakes up confused and can't remember how many of what pills he's already taken!. He can barely stay awake during conversations at night and he is manic during his work day!.
When he talks to one of his doctors about the side effects of these medicines, they tell him that he is experiencing symptoms of yet another "disorder" and write him another prescription!.!.!.
Is this happening to you or someone you know!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Very simple explaination, he is over prescibed and all of his physicians, need to be in sync before this man is ever going to get better from anything!.
The problem with the right hand not knowing what the left is doing, it could actually be harming the primary problem or possibly creating another all together!.
He needs to get a medical social worker involved and have her or him find the right rescources and scheduleding of all the health care professionals involved!. It is not easy getting everyone under one roof to care for one patient!. It might be easier to to in a teaching hospital!.
If that doesn't work, then your friend must be pro-active on his own!. Find a friend who knows something of pharmarmacetuticals both over the counter and prescribed and try to sort is out through a Physicians' Desk Reference!. (The newer the better)!.
The Pharmaceutical Companies tend to pressure MD's into pushing their products!. Also, you must understands the Medical Industry in under such time pressure, it is easy for them to prescribe something that hasn't been researched for that particular patient!.
One more thing, NEVER take yourself off a medication unless you know you don't have to be weaned off!. THE PDR will inform you of this!.
I wish you the best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no offense, but WHAT THE HELL!? your doctors don't seem to be the most ingenious, because putting someone on that many medications CANNOT be healthy!. especially with all of his side effects!. I would definitely talk to one of his doctors about all of this, because he could soon overdose and get in real trouble!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
