What Would Be The Possible Negative Effects Of Prescription Drug Abuse?

Filed in Category Prescription Drug Use


Obvious answers – addiction, building tolerance & potential overdose, side effects which all drugs have which would be needless in abuse situations, risk of danger to others while user was high……….do I really need to continue.
Really bad negative effect — the negative/fear effect it has on doctors concerning those who really need this medication for pain control. (The innocent victims)

    Many and plenty depending on the drug. Painkillers can cause liver problems. They alone, or used in combination with sedatives, can depress your central nervous system and cause respiratory failure. It is far more common than most people think. Kidneys are at risk too, as is the stomach. They can cause esophageal spasms that make eating and swallowing difficult. Most will lead to severe depression that takes a long time to get through. Not to mention the horrible physical withdrawal symptoms and the long mental recovery and cravings. Oh, cardiac arrest is possible too, painkillers or stimulants can cause this.
    This is an incomplete list and just what I can think of of the top of my head. But just this includes liver, kidneys, stomach and digestive system, the nervous system, the brain (depression) and the heart.
    Sorry, but it’s all true and anyone doing this is playing with fire.

    Prescription drug abuse may have the same effects as street drugs do. It can affect our brain chemistry which results to a extremely uncomfortable and painful feeling.

    Constant exposure to acetaminophen can really do some damage to your liver over time. There are quite a lot of pills that have acetaminophen along with another chemical.
