Wow

Quote From: nixi333

My God Yvette sounds like my 12 yr old niece... My mommy hates me because she won't let me have whatever I want! 

 I can't stand how drug addicts think. Yvonne actually said that Yvette tries her best with the kids ....well I'm sorry but if thats her best she does not deserve her kids, neither of them do!

With all the things doctors and regular people know about certain prescription drugs I can't believe they have not stopped using them, it's obviously not worth the risk. There are other ways to control pain. Pills that don't make you high or a whole list of non medicinal options.

Why does every one want the easy way out??

Over weight---take a pill

stressed -----take a pill

depressed  ---- take a pill

back pain ----take a pill

can't sleep----- take a pill

can't wake up-----take a pill
Good God how about exercise?? How about taking a walk in the woods to get away from the noise or problems for a little while?? How about talking to a good friend or writing a letter or in a journal to get it off your chest??

Nope; God forbid anybody does alittle work to make it better! Nope let's just be lazy and take a pill!!!!

Sad Sad Sad.

 

Wow, glad you're perfect.  Makes it easier to pass judgment on everyone else.  Kudos!

I agree with you.  I was having trouble sleeping.  I went to see my doctor, he said I had insomnia and he prescribed Cymbalta.  It worked for little while, I was sleeping, losing weight, and had dry mouth.  That's the side effects.  I was drinking plenty of water, but it wasn't quenching my thirst.  Then after a couple of months I noticed I wasn't losing the weight, nor sleeping very well.  I decided to stop taking them.  I suffered with the insomnia for a little while.  I was eating like crazy, and putting on the pounds. One evening I was watching the Discovery Channel about the National Body Challenge. The program had different set of twins working together as a team supporting each other losing weight, etc.  I was so motivated by the progress they were making, I decided to get into an exercise program.  Now, I watch what I eat, exercise here at work 3 days a week and at home.  I've been sleeping and feeling much better and I lost about 5 lbs.  I don't ever want to rely on pills ever again.

I think you are being a bit ignorant. How about some empathy for these people? How do you know how an addict thinks. I do. My mother was one. Read my story. Put yourself in their shoes. It has been proven that one's genetics can leave them at a higher risk for things like heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, and especially addictions. I would know. I've taken several genetics classes. Each person is wired differently. People don't react the same when given  things like pain killers. That is why some people can have several incidents where they NEED pain killers (surgery, broken bones, etc.) and they don't have any reliance to the medication while others take one pill once and they are hooked. So don't be ignorant and judge docters and the health system like that. You can entirely wip these medications off the market. More testing and evidence needs to be provided.  While yes there are other ways to control the pain, but they are not as effective. As for your comment of a pills for everything: There is no pill that cures being overweight. Diet and exercise does. Imagine a world without some of these perscriptions.  I think the benefits greatly out way the consequences so far.  By the way, walking away from your problems IS NOT THE SOLUTION! In pyschology they say the only  effective way to solve problems , especially anger, is to direct it at the problem itself, instead of  "getting it off your chest" to a friend. Does that really solve the problem? Stop generalizing as well. Not everyone is "lazy" and takes a pill for everything. Ignorance is not bliss. Stop being so closed minded.

I sincerely hope you never have real depression in your lifetime.....Because if you really knew what real depression is, you would not suggest "a walk in the woods or writing in a journal" to make the depression just go away!  I have had depressive episodes of such deep proportion that the only thing I would be writing in a journal is "Thank you God for helping me not kill myself today"  and I am very serious when I say that.  If it were not for my anti-depressant "pills"  I do not know where I would be today.  Thank God for those pills.  It is only people who have never truly suffered depression or real pain that would make the comments that you did.  As  I said in the beginning of my post, I hope you never know what depression is, because it is something I wouldn't wish on anyone.  Your comment about "just be lazy and take a pill"  is just ignorance on your part.  I am not trying to sound mean.   I just wish people would try to understand real illnesses and not make light of them............My depression not only affects me, it affects my family, and everything in my life!
