Drug overload!!!
















Hello everyone!

I admit that I am a young man but in the last 25 years of me being on this lovely planet earth I have seen a few things. One of them is that every time I walk into a CVS or drugstore I notice that the amount of prescriptions being filled are getting bigger and BIGGER...

I mean look at this picture that I took in a Pharmacy last week. I was there to get something and while waiting couldn't help to notice how stacked these pills were.

Now obviously in the last decade we have had some breakthroughs in science on certain levels in pharmacology and this I think is good. BUT.... I asked one of the fine young ladies at this pharmacy what it is that she See's going through her place the most. She looked at me rolled her eyes and shook her head a little and said, SSRI's NSRI's Anti Psychotics, Benzodiazapines, Opiates, Anxiolitics... And if you read my blog from time to time you will agree that this was no new news to me.

The point that I am getting at is the fact that with all the new drugs for cardio, BP, Cholesterol, Ad Infinitum - That it was these damn harmful Psychiatric drugs that were taking over the world.

I was discussing with someone about a week ago the medications she was taking and she said "I want off the opiates but not my anti-seizure meds" I looked at her and asked "why not"? "when did you start getting Seizures"? She stated "oh, I started getting them from Paxil. Now this is an unfortunate occurrence as now that this poor lady took Paxil she will be on this medication to prevent the seizures... She does not even take Paxil anymore!!! Has not for years!

Sorry but this is just not right in my book that people can be hurt so badly by these Big pharma companies and not enough people care about it...

Do you agree? I want your thoughts...

Later - Monty
