Dr. Pohl:
Some people even take vitamins to get an effect. So I think it’s really an approach of somebody wanting to feel better, and I think it always has to be in complicity with the prescriber because unless you are getting these drugs illegally, you are going to go to your doctor who is going to be the prescriber.
So again, as an educated consumer, you can come in with a set of concerns and look for alternative ways to deal with something other than a prescription drug.
