Great story, Susan. I have a friend that had an addiction to pills for several years (Vicodin, OxyCotin, etc). She went to rehab and came out taking another pill to stop her urges for pills. I cannot remember the name of the pill she had to take to counteract the pill urge but it seemed a little redundant to me to have her quit one drug to start another one.
The sad part of the story is that after her rehabilitation, she was involved in a major car accident that caused her severe pain in her back and she returned to pill abuse. This time legally with a prescription.
Unfortunately, I have several stories that I could share about pill abuse among my friends including an overdose that left a friend of mine dead in her car sitting in the parking lot of a grocery store. It is sad, none the less. Prescription drug abuse has become so common.
I recently was diagnosed with a severe sinus and ear infection which the physician prescribed me an antibiotic, nose spray and told me to purchase Claratin D for my sinus infection. Little did I know that when I went to purchase the Claratin D, it was behind the counter and I also had to sign my name three times in order to purchase them (5 pills). After speaking to the pharmacist, I came to realize that people were making crystal methamphetamines with the pills. What has the world come to with the drug craze?
