If you're dealing with joint pain, I am here to help you remove the dangers lurking in your medicine cabinet. There is an epidemic sweeping the nation. It may be one of the most prolific and most dangerous threats to public safety--prescription drugs.
For joint pain and arthritis some people turn to strong prescription drugs for pain with names like oxycodone, methadone, morphine, Xanax, valium and others are very effective, but many of these drugs can also be highly addictive.
Since pain medications can result in a euphoric feeling. People may take more than what is needed for pain, or they may take them longer than necessary. They may even complain of pain that is no longer severe in hopes of getting a refill or two.
5 Things To Watch Out For:
- Change in your behavior. Going from happy to sullen and withdrawn.
- Feigning illness as an excuse to go through the medicine cabinets at friend's or other family member's houses.
- Doctor shopping; hoping new doctors, unfamiliar with your past, will write you new prescriptions.
- Forging fake prescriptions in an effort to trick pharmacies into providing medications.
- Seeking local drug dealers who work to supply the specific medication requested.
1. Ask doctors serious question when it comes to pain medications.
- Are the strong medications really necessary?
- Are the medications addictive?
- Are there any non-narcotic alternatives?
- Do I have to have so many medications when a short-term recovery is expected?
- Are refills really necessary?
3. When medications are no longer needed, discard the unused medications to reduce temptation.
4. Contact your local Sheriff's or police office for the proper way to dispose of unused medications.
