Perscription Pills

More people abuse prescription drugs now a days. There are many reasons why but some are to get a high others are to make emotional pain go away then there is attempting to make physical pain go away.

Doctors around here are lazy. You go in with a problem and they just hand out medications. Every time you go in with the same problem they either up your dose or throw you on something else. Every time i go to a doctor with my back problems they throw me on a bunch of pills. Yet if i find a pill that works and go back in for a new prescription they just throw me on a different one and keep telling me to give this one a shot. And when it does not work and i go back asking to go back on the other one they tell me 'no we have some others we want you to try'... arg why can't they just let me stay on one instead of always changing my prescriptions.

I had this one doctor i went in to see, came in looked over my chart wrote something down handed it to me and left. He never said a word, didn't explain what he was putting me on or even ask me how i was feeling. My chart says what i was in for in the past what if it had been something different. Whats the point on helping people if you refuse to communicate with them. I can not stand doctors who don't listen or ask questions. But i really hate the ones who tell you how you are feeling when they are wrong and they argue with you that they are right. If i felt like that i would have told you that.

Prescription drugs are being miss used more and more for many reasons. One reason is because our doctors are not helping us anymore so we try new doses and combinations ourselves. I don't do it to the extreme but i understand why some people might be. I combine old medication with new ones when I'm not suppose to. None of it ever works anyways. Maybe a way of minimizing prescription abuse would be to have the doctors listen to their patients. I'm not saying its ok I'
m just saying doctors should be paying more attention to their patients.
