Side Effects of Prescription Drugs

Can drugs or medications solve relationship problems?
Telephone and Skype Coaching with Martyn Carruthers

It is easier for both health professionals and most patients to use drugs as a substitute for change. Alcohol, nicotine or prescription anti-depressants and stimulants are easier than applying intelligence, focus and analytical skills to relationship problems. Drugs are more profitable for health professionals.

But the long-term consequences and side-effects of many drugs are unacceptable to an increasing number of medical professionals and their patients.

Can Medication be Dangerous to your Health?

Some solutions are worse than the problems. Some cures are worse than the diseases. Some common medications cause injury, pain, suffering and symptoms of mental health disorders.

Are your symptoms a consequence of your relationships?
Do you believe that drugs can solve relationship problems?

Many people struggling to improve themselves and their lives are stuck in confusion, depression and insomnia. These symptoms are sometimes caused by common foods and by common medications such as pain relievers, stimulants and tranquilizers - both legal and illegal.

If your physician prescribes a medication, ask about the side-effects listed by the manufacturer of that medication.

Every medication contains chemicals that may cause side effects. Some side effects are physical, such as nausea or blurred vision, and some side effects affect mood and emotions. If someone has a mental disorder, why not check if medications cause the symptoms? List what medications are taken, and compare the medication history to the symptom history. Ask unbiased medical professionals about the side effects of any drugs that they prescribe for you or your family.

Ask physicians if they would prescribe your medication to their own families!

A study in the American Medical Association Journal revealed that prescription drugs kill over 100,000 people in the US every year, hence prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death. Further, each years there are over 2,200,000 serious adverse drug reactions (required hospitalization, were permanently disabling, or caused death).

Check the Prescription ... Notice the Effects

Read the label! Wrong drugs and wrong dosages kill or injure hundreds of thousands of people. Specific concerns include:
Prescribing errors. Poor handwriting. Verbal orders. Ambiguous orders. Orders not modified or cancelled. Look-alike and sound-alike drug names. Wrong abbreviations. Faulty drug distribution. Poor labeling. Ignorance.

Even if correctly prescribed, some medications may induce delusions and mental disorders, as may food allergies, food sensitivities, environmental conditions and toxic relationships. Observe when the symptoms are worst. Notice which patterns of medications, food and relationship behavior seem to precede unpleasant symptoms.

Common drugs such as Darvon®, Demerol® and Percodan® are addictive narcotics that can impair brain function, cause mood swings and disturb sleep.

Some medication side-effects increase the symptom that the drug was supposed to control. This may lead people to take more of a symptom-producing drug in an effort to control that symptom. Over 100 million prescriptions for mood-changing drugs are made annually in North America alone! If only 1% of these prescriptions are to alleviate the undiagnosed side-effects of other drugs, that's a million meaningless and expensive prescriptions for harmful drugs every year.

I talked to a few doctors about my son's medications. I received very different answers so I did some research. It seems that drug companies provide most post-graduate training for doctors, who only prescribe drugs that they know about. ... I found a doctor who changed my son's medications with amazing results. My son is allergic to a common filler agent used in many drugs. PA, Idaho

Medication & Relationships

Many addictive drugs are prescribed to control symptoms caused by relationship problems - including alcohol and nicotine. Read reference materials about the potential side effects of medications or psychoactive drugs. And consider how drugs affect your relationships. Do you take drugs so that you can stay in relationship with someone ... or stay in a job doing work you detest?

It's harder to find health professionals who don't take psychiatric drugs. When I worked in xxx clinic, I was one of very few staff who didn't take anti-depressants and/or benzodiazepine daily. Where would medical professionals be without Prozac? PM, San Diego, USA

Common Reasons for Medication

Food Allergies & Mental Health

Some mental disorders are caused by allergies to common foods, such as sugar, corn, wheat, milk products or potatoes. Many people who are sensitive to common foods display symptoms such as confusion, aggression, hyperactivity or depression, rather than physical symptoms such as a rash. Other common causes of mental health problems include intolerance to food additives or preservatives.

Depression . Learning Disabilities . Schizophrenia . Eating Disorders

Many apparent mental disorders are sensitivities and allergies to home, work or environmental contaminants, vitamin deficiencies and stress. Yet the most common cause seems to be relationship issues. Clarifying and resolving relationship issues may bring a near-miraculous and drug-free alleviation of mental health symptoms and some physical disease symptoms. Many articles about solving relationship problems are available here. See When Disease Makes Sense.

Have you been HURT by Prescription Drugs?

Medication can help people with treatable diseases or conditions.
But some medical drugs cause severe reactions that can lead to hospital stays and injury.

If you have been hurt by prescription drugs, you may be able to recover damages for your
injuries, suffering, lost income and medical expenses.
