We all get sick once in a while and we take medicine, but have you ever been on so much medication that it actually makes you sick before making you better? This is what I’m currently suffering from. At first, I was diagnosed with a medical condition, and I was prescribed Effexor XR. This medicine’s side effects make me weak and dizzy, so to control that I have to take Meclizine. Because of this combination, I have trouble sleeping, so I have to take Lorazepam on top of the other two.
I’m only 20 years old and I’m on more medication than my mother. That scares me because it makes me think about how many medications I will be taking when I’m older. I know my health should come first but it really sucks. I had to give up my cell phone because I could not afford the bill and the $110 per month of medication. I hope I have somewhat encouraged you to take your health seriously and not take it for granted. www.webmd.com

Being on medication is scary at a young age no matter what the situation is. I had surgery about a month ago and the doctor has put me on many different medication. I asked myself if the doctor was trying to put me on more meidications so I could pay for them and then the headaches began from the antidepresent medication the doctor gave me. I called my mother and expresed my concerns and she told me to stop taking the medicine if I thought it wasn't helping me. Soon after I stoped my pain returned. Im not sure if all dotors know what they are talking about, but I wish I listended to this doctor, because the returning pain was ten times worse.
