CHEST INFECTION
How would you like your medication?
It is important that everyone has some sort of medication in their homes or cars so it will always be on hand, but when a person doesn’t have the correct dose, they might not be able to use the medication. Sometimes people are unaware of how much medication they need and don’t know why they have no control over what dosage they have been forced on, especially for someone who is allergic to certain drugs. Some people have become addicted to prescription medications because they were told by doctors that taking them would help them feel better, which may not be a good thing as it gives the pharmacist the wrong idea about your body and may lead them to make you suffer more from withdrawal effects.
But there are other reasons why someone might be addicted to medication (other than this one) and I’ll get into that later in the article. The most common reason is probably because they have an illness or a serious health issue that makes them go for medication just for comfort purposes and can cause severe withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawal symptoms include tachycardia, hallucinations, and paranoia.
However, sometimes the person does not really feel well enough to take medication and will stop taking it at the drop of a hat. Other times people do not know that they have taken too much medication and they start taking other things they feel will give them a temporary boost, such as sleeping pills. Some people have gotten seriously ill with some kind of bug that cannot be cured or managed in time.
This is usually because the symptoms are very similar but someone has decided to stop the medication so they cannot see it and feel better. People also sometimes just stop taking the medication because they think they should not be taking it at all. This then leads to an increased dosage that causes side effects and can make someone addicted once again. If someone stops medication, they won’t be able to continue treatment as it is causing damage and they do not know how to manage.
Most people will also have problems with sleeping and may wake up at night feeling sleepy so they will look forward to taking a restful sleep before bedtime. If people have a history of mental illness they will be afraid and paranoid that they will harm themselves or others, and so they will have started to stop taking medicine, even if they already took a few tablets so they know that they shouldn’t stop. Even people who have a history of drug abuse become addicts when their body is trying to tell them something. They start taking more and more to maintain their stimulants overdrive that is causing them pain and confusion and if they do this overdrive, they get a high level addiction which means they have a constant need to take more to feel comfortable and the higher levels of these stimulants they have, the worse the withdrawal effects will be and so they will eventually have a low tolerance and withdrawal symptoms once they are completely off everything.
These symptoms can vary and depending on factors such as age, weight, mood, and other factors, people can develop several withdrawal symptoms. Some people will experience anxiety, depression, hallucinations, agitation, nausea, fatigue, muscle weakness and dizziness while others will have irritability. Treatment is available for everyone with some of the symptoms listed below and others not so much. You should always seek professional medical help and talk to a doctor if you think your symptoms are due to any type of substance abuse or medication. You may be referred to some more expensive options which can mean that you will have to pay hundreds of pounds in order to solve an ongoing problem.
After you have tried many different types of treatment and medicines, they will be able to work out the best possible solution for you and your needs.
Psychotherapy – a psychological treatment and education program where the clients find themselves in an experimental therapy program.
Drug Detoxes – drugs that are commonly used as an aid in treating symptoms associated with the withdrawal symptoms of overdose and withdrawal from drugs.
Physical Symptoms - signs that show your symptoms and the severity of the disorder and your potential for further treatment.
There are treatments and alternatives that can be used when someone becomes severely depressed or anxious, but those medications are only useful for a short period when they are actually being used for depression or anxiety, as most of those drugs are stimulants and will cause your body to release adrenaline through a sympathetic nervous system and that will stimulate the heart, the bronchi and other organs as well. In fact, for those who have been prescribed such drugs they can be highly addictive unless they are medically stable or diagnosed with other mental illnesses, such as Schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder.
Medications such as benzodiazepines and antidepressants can also have withdrawal effects. For example, if someone is on a continuous dose of Valium sedation, they will start developing insomnia, headaches, seizures and agitation. Because of valium sedation, there are issues with breathing and the brain will start functioning slowly. There may be a loss of consciousness and lack of memory and it can lead to physical changes and/or damage to vital organs. If they are severely depressed the drug is withdrawn as soon as they are not functioning normally and they will not function well and become extremely distressed. If they find themselves in the hospital they may struggle to survive and that’s where medical intervention comes in. Doctors will prescribe antihistamines which will make the body calm down and calm down the neurotransmitter serotonin has which helps to regulate mood, appetite, sleep and stress levels. Anti-anxiety meds and hypnotics help relieve anxiety, fear and stress.
With hypnosis it works by changing reality and allowing the mind to focus itself on memories and dreams. Hypnosis teaches patients how to deal with difficult emotions and feelings and help them cope with the demands of everyday life and their ability to deal with the symptoms, including withdrawal symptoms that they can have. They will learn ways to handle it. They have their mind set clear so they can think clearly, they will identify with themselves what they want and not what is coming up and they will be aware of their triggers and their limits and if the trigger itself is related to their own body or in their family. All of these drugs have withdrawal symptoms and people need to be aware that they are addicted in order to avoid becoming addicted themselves. It is normal for drug users and if they do have these symptoms, they need to consult a doctor.
If you find yourself in a situation similar to any of the information above it is imperative that you call the helpline 24/7/365 where you can speak with someone that will listen and there is trained staff there ready to assist. If someone suffers from anxiety and depression, they need to speak with their GP about their condition and how it’s affecting them.
Also, a counselor can help them to understand that they have no control over the amount of medication they take and they need to know that there are people who care and are there for them every step of the way. As soon as you speak to your doctor they will make sure that you get the proper medication you need as soon as possible. Many years ago, I was admitted to the psychiatric ward and my psychiatrist said to me that “You haven’t taken it yet, we will give it to you when you are home. At hospitals and clinics, you simply lie down and wait for an hour or two and then they give you another injection. They give you a shot of morphine into your arm and wait another half hour until it wears off. And then they give you some narcotics that you can take when you get home if you feel sick or have some sort of stomach ache, fever or vomiting.”
This was the first day I took my tranquilizer and I remember lying there shaking, screaming and crying because I knew I had lost control of my life and my sanity.
