We’re the Most Medicated Nation in History

I know I will probably regret this, but what medications, do you think we can do without, or what medical conditions currently being treated by medications can do without medications???

 

just wait for the GLP-1 pills to come out next year

 

This is kind of a loaded question. I think the issue is that some people are put on medications that don't need to be put on medications...not that those medications don't have real use case situations. Another issue is that when it comes to something like pain medicine, some/many/most doctors and nurses who give it to you have absolutely no interest in the addiction aspect of it because it does not pertain to them.

I can see your point and agree with that, especially the pain medication part.

 

I cannot speak for the country, but I have 4 prescriptions. 3 of them I could do without,but I find that they enhance my quality of life.

 

I have more than I wish, and I might be able to cut out 1 or 2 of them, but any of the major ones, my life would be of outmost misery, and possibly not long for here on earth....

 

at 73, I only take 1 prescription - a B12 shot once a month

 

I just take a statin...but also waste money on several vitamins/supplements

 

my biggest issue with the pharmaceutical industry is they have supposedly been trying for 50+ years to cure cancer have yet to come up with anything - I am not sure I buy that

 

Body positivity

 

Guess that explains how Trump won re-election.

 

I just things are interrelated. Look at the number of products they put sugar and fake sugar in. Damn fake sugar is even in fiber supplements and vitamins. Damn folks think this is Poppins

 

If that was the case then Steve Jobs would still be here

 

We're still waiting on a medication that will stop Trump from lying and conning people out of their money

 

According to Economics 101, if we paid less for medication, we would consume more.

 

While one problem is that people on average take too much medication, there is also a problem on the other end with mentally ill people (often Russophiles) who take propaganda from foreign governments in lieu of medication.
