  Advice I received a long time ago and have heeded ever since: Unless you need a prescription drug or two to keep you from DYING, stay away from ALL of them. There are many alternative medicines that, if studied and used carefully, do as well. Not only that, people's illnesses are often the results of their lifestyles - and poor choices.

  What does it take to teach the idiots out there that Rx meds and many OTC drugs can be dangerous?

  What do they think causes the little labels to be affixed to a bottle or box?
  Each person reacts in their own way and even one drink (wine/beer etc) can alter the potency of some of the meds.
  If you drive IMPAIRED from any substance, you are liable for ticketing. If you are in an accident, even if you have one Rx Oxy, cough medicine or allergy pill in your system, expect to be questioned.

  BTW - if you take ANY med on a regular basis for a chronic condition, do all of us a favor and get a Med-Alert necklace or bracelet. A diabetic in distress looks a lot like a drunk....
