The Truth About Prescription Drug Abuse
There are very serious health risks in abusing prescription drugs, not only addiction but problems such as slowed pulse, fatigue, slurred speech and depression. Abuse of prescription drugs can be even riskier than the abuse of illegally manufactured drugs. The high potency of some prescription drugs creates a high overdose risk. This is particularly true of painkillers and sedatives, where overdose deaths more than doubled over a five-year period. Prescription drugs and painkillers have been noted as contributing to the deaths of Marilyn Monroe, Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Elvis Presley, Chris Penn, Michael Jackson and others.
