The Perils of Prescription Pills

Hi Everyone,

Last night as I was scanning through the channels I read the description for a TV show called, 16×9. For anyone who doesn’t know, 16×9 is produced by Global Television and it is very similar to 60 minutes. I have loved, and still watch, 60 Minutes every week I can for over 3 decades. That’s saying a lot since I am in my mid-forties.

One thing I do remember watching on 60 minutes were the negative effects of prescription drugs. Some people should NOT be prescribed prescription drugs because they can have an adverse effect on some of the people who are taking them. On a side note, Prozac came on the market in December 1987 or 26 years ago.

In the first episode that I saw on this topic, (24-25 years ago), a father had said that his son was prescribed a drug, (I believe it was Prozac but I can’t be sure so do not quote me, this is my disclaimer) and then shortly after that his sons’ behaviour started to change, for the worse. I believe his son committed suicide.

I was floored by this, as his son was about the same age as I was at the time. Both parents were devastated as their son had a promising future.

The one interesting thing about prescription pills is that ALL of THEM have side effects. Even vitamins can have them. It is a little known fact that people with heart conditions SHOULD NOT EAT, take VITAMINS or use products with grapefruit in them. There are a lot of things that people should not be taking.

Please watch the below video and read the some or all of the below link.

Here is the link for 16×9. There is about 1:20 minutes before this video actually starts and the video is 17:20 in length, just look for the screen with the green pills,
