Prescription drugs for holiday cheer
-December 15, 2004
The number of Americans taking prescription drugs has increased by 40 percent in recent years. One in six people take three or more drugs, and around the holidays when people are stressed, experts warn about automatically medicating when the blues, anxiety, nervousness sets in. Emotions are normal, but experts are worried with recent trends that Americans seem to be numbing things out with the pop of a pill.
Benzodiazepines like Ativan, Xanax, Valium and Librium are being taken by an alarming number of people for relief from anxiety, sadness and stress. Although depression and anxiety can interfere with someone's life, taking a pill to get through a difficult event or night should not be the answer. Every drug has risk of side effects, and consumers must become educated about both the risks and benefits of medication before deciding, alongside their doctor, if it is right for them.For more information on Ativan, please contact us.
