Addiction...Dependency...Abuse...let's talk about medications shall we?

6/3/2015

SO...last night I took the night off from the Facebook page and went to bed early...I was exhausted after a long day. I wish I could say I slept well...but I didn't. What I did do however, was come up with another topic of discussion for us here on the website. 

I've noticed a few comments lately on the Facebook page about the challenges of medications and I thought we could address them here.

Have you ever been addicted to your medications?
Have you ever abused your medications?
Have you become dependent on your medications?


If you're saying yes...please be gentle with yourself okay? I can admit I had a problem too and that's why I have made the change away from medications. It's easy to do okay? But maybe with some information you can change things if you choose moving forward.
Over the next few days I will be sharing information regarding safe use of opioids, 7 warning signs of drug abuse, using medications safely in our older years and more and the entries will be saved in the Health & Wellness category for future reference. Please feel free to share the entries with those you love and know who may be having problems or to open the lines of communication with YOUR support system if YOU need help.

Please also understand these entries are not meant to take the place of direct medical care and if you notice anything about you and your life in the entries please speak to a qualified medical professional.

The choice to use medications to treat your pain is a personal one...a decision to made with information and understanding of the side-effects, uses, and possible problems that come with prescription medication. Please...make your choice wisely okay?

Take good care of you
Tammy
