Almost Half of Americans Took a Prescription Drug in Past Month

And all I got was this stupid T-Shirt...

I'd be a hollow shell of myself without prescription drugs.

I was just prescribed TRAZODONE. Went to the doctor first time in years for insomnia. She was not pushy and told me to quit afternoon caffeine and alcohol use also. Did not tell her about snus because she did not ask if I used snus.

Might try this stuff on a bad night but no way am I taking it every night like she prescribed. That's how the pusher man hooks you!!

I take 3 Gabapentins a day for my "defect" and Alprazolam as needed.

One Nexium every morning for my "other defect".

I've found that Nyquil or a couple of Benadryl with a beer knocks me smooth out. Unisom does alright too. Unisom is actually just a strong sinus medication that makes you drowsy. They just market it as a sleep aid.

Speaking of drug marketing. I always found it interesting that out of all the fancy expensive OTC meds geared towards back pain, headaches, migraines, etc... Every single one has the same active ingredient, usually ibuprofen or acetaminophen that you can buy dirt cheap in a generic. I've seen people pick up a box of each not even knowing it's all the same.

Thanks. I usually use benadryl but usually only one and it works 50% of the time. Going to try two with a "Schlitz" next time it happens.

I had insomnia for a while and I took the same thing. It was very mild but did the trick. Took it for about a month and now don't need it anymore.

Melatonin works like a charm for insomnia. Only for like three days. It will reset your biological clock. It doesn't taste or smell like ass either like Valerian root does.

All that staring at screens all day and light bulbs dicks up your circadian rhythm.

[jamesstew]

I don't know son, every time I've tried melatonin I've had absolutely horrible nightmares. Really vivid lucid dreams where it seems the boundaries of sleep and consciousnesses blur together in a terrifying land of darkness.

[bakerbarber]

YIKES!

I had night terrors when I was real little. I remember the horror, waking up with the whole family in the room, and gasping for air. It would take a lot of time to wake me up even though my eyes might be open, I was still dreaming.

Good warning jamesstew. No one needs nightmares.

Melatonin works for me, use caution ehh! I just read on wiki that's it's banned in Germany and prescription only in most countries.

[dreed2]

I'm surprised it's that low too considering I get 20 questions and evil stares at the doctor's office when I tell them I am not taking any prescribed or over the counter drugs. Then, I get pissed off when I have to hear their lecture about tobacco 5 minutes later. In their mind, it's okay to have your own pharmacy worth of drugs, but tobacco will kill you.

I just don't tell my doctor I use tobacco or caffeine anymore. I get out of there faster with a lot less drama. None of their business. Made the mistake of going in for an early morning appointment with a cup of coffee once. Won't do that again!

Hmm... Kind of sounds cool. I think I have some melatonin around here somewhere, but I've never tried it. Maybe I will :^)

Moon Martin From Wikipedia

Martin gained recognition in the 1970s as a pop artist and composer. Originally a rockabilly artist, he wrote the songs "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)", made famous by the English singer Robert Palmer, and "Cadillac Walk", made famous by the American singer Willy DeVille.

Martin scored two minor hits of his own with "Rolene" (#30 Billboard Hot 100) and "No Chance" (#50), both in 1979. His 1982 song, "X-Ray Vision" was an MTV hit music video.

He was given the nickname "Moon" because many of his songs had the word "moon" in the lyrics.
