Isn't it a sad state of affairs when our own Doctor's over prescribe medication to their patients? Our loved ones suffer, along with their families. Where does one turn? It seems to be a lose, lose situation. Complaints are made, still no-one listens. Our loved ones become, addicted while the Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies make money off of our pain, turning our loved ones into useless zombies.
I recently met a woman who was prescribed Klonopins (Clonazepam) used to treat seizures and panic disorder. I swear these are the worse pill's known to man and should be banned. They are highly addictive and often times abused. They cause drowsiness, confusion and so many more unwanted effects. They even make a person seem intoxicated. In fact, I know of one woman who was arrested for intoxication while on Klonopin's, but that's a whole different story in itself. And yes, her life and her entire family's life was ruined because of it.
This woman I spoke of went to a Nashua Pharmacy to get her prescription filled. They were all out and she got sent to another Pharmacy. The second Pharmacy was also out. She was told they don't get enough Klonopin's delivered for all the people who take them and they had no idea when they would get more. She was sent to another Pharmacy, who by some strange chance was able to fill her prescription. Another woman had the same problem when trying to fill her prescription of Klonopin's. What is wrong with NH Doctor's? Why is this highly addictive drug prescribed more often than not?
When more than one Pharmacy run's out of a Klonopin's, what does that tell you? And when a Doctor is told that a patient is abusing this medication, many times so confused that they forget when they take them, but do nothing to stop the abuse, what does that tell you?
It's no wonder so many of N.H.'s population are walking around like zombies. That is, when they can even get out of bed. What does a person have to do to stop this abuse? Where do they turn?
