Title: Interacting with drugged up people
Post by: goodsamaritan on July 23, 2010, 12:51:11 am
Is prescription drugging rampant in your locale?
I just realized through some videos that drugging is popular.
Recreational drugs and Prescription drugs.

Are these people strange?  Do they behave strange?  Or is it hard to pick them out of a crowd?

I've found it difficult to communicate with drugged up seniors.  I could compare them all to my grandfather who was drug free until he suddenly died at 99.  He was lucid and communicative till the day he died.

I viewed on youtube that children are drugged up in this ritalin and zoloft, what are those children like?

Depends on the drugs. Even prescription drugs, which are prescribed for that person, can run the gamut from no outward signs to narcolepsy, increased outward aggression, anxiety, etc. A lot of my In-Laws are on miscellaneous prescription drugs for assorted mental issues and they noticeable effects on one's personality and behavior.

It's incredibly rare to find a senior in the US who takes no medicine. I think 1 in 100 would be too high of a percentage.

They're a handful. Parents use drugs to temper a kid's personality rather than being a parent and disciplining the kid. All it does though is make the kids more messed up.

Yeah put kids (mainly boys) who should be outside building things/throwing things/hunting things/fighting on drugs so they can sit still for 8 hours a day. yep coz that's normal.

I know males who only started to succeed the day they left that place.

I mean't put the kids on drugs so they can sit still at school. Ritalin was the medication I was referring too.

My brother struggled at school, he spent 12 years staring out the window (on his teacher reports) He is an expert in building things/leading people and now very successful.

That title made me chuckle.
Prescription drugs are bad for you avoid them at all cost. I was forced to take some strong ones at a vulnerable age and it cause me health and brain problems.
