Prescribed drugs help people to live a healthier life. They are chemicals or substances legally approved to cure or prevent diseases. However, they also produce undesirable side effects, such, that they affect negatively an individual's mind, and body. Side effects vary upon several factors on their consumption. For example, type, amount, frequency, body size, chemistry, and mixing drugs. Nevertheless, even when doctors do not want to recognize the side effects in some of these artificial drugs, they may also cause psychological and emotional changes.
The issue arises when the side effects of some of these drugs not accepted as side effect, might need to be treated with other drugs in which case causes a vicious cycle. For example, Xanax (alprazolam) is one of the most commonly prescribed medications used in USA to treat anxiety, but few knows that it may cause depression, memory impairment, and in some cases difficulty concentrating. Halcion (triazolam) is another drug similar to Xanax, but, the duration of its sedative effect is very short making it one of the most popular sleeping pills used in the USA. However, in recent years there have been reports that Halcion may impair memory the day after people take this sleeping pill. Some others have reported even experienced a "jump back" anxiety effect after taking this medication. At last, there's no scientific way for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to keep track on the adverse reactions for this drug. So, in reality nobody knows how dangerous can this drug really is.
It happens very often that some doctors don't review a patient's medication. Instead, they add a new prescription drug to combat the side effects that are not being recognized as coming from another drug. Let's say a patient is prescribed an antidepressant to relief the blues caused by a blood pressure drug. In fact, depression and fainting are two of the most widespread side effects from antihypertensive medications. In the last few years, warnings have been part of medical journals and newspapers, along new research, indicating that overmedication and adverse reactions to medications are not just common but perhaps becoming epidemic among people of all ages. Furthermore, in recent days, a federal advisory panel voted to recommend a ban on two very popular painkillers in the entire world, "Percocet" and "Vicodin". The reason is their side effects on the liver. Both drugs combine some type of narcotic with acetaminophen, a very popular ingredient in over-the-counter products such as Tylenol or Excedrin. It is reported that high doses of acetaminophen are leading cause of liver damage. Nevertheless, acetaminophen is also combined in at least seven some other prescription drugs, and if the FDA pays close attention to the advice of experts they may be banned as well.
Any human body is susceptible to suffer an adverse reaction, as a direct result of side effects induced from prescribed medication. Weight gain/loss , sexual performance issues, gastrointestinal issues, different degrees of fatigue, uncontrollable muscle tremors, vision changes are just a few of them physical side effects.
Certain type of medications known as "Anti-rejection," may even cause a change on a patience physical appearance. These drugs decrease the response of the immune system to an organ transplant and help by preventing their rejection. Their negative side effects included, and are not limited to, puffiness, excessive hair growth, gain weight, pimples, cushingoid (change of face to a rounder shape), and swollen gums. Although, these side effects can go away after some treatment, they will still cause an amount of emotional distress on a patient. Bone loss is another side effect caused by steroids that can affect physical ability.
