Medicine is not my field of expertise, but it is hard to overlook the fact that even if We stray away from potentially harmful or even lethal drugs, that are popular and sometimes demanded by patients in a way of blackmailing Their own physicians in order to obtain those drugs.
Most popular are relaxants and/or sleep helpers from the family of ¨benzos¨ like lorazepam, oxazepam, halcion, diazepam (valium) xanax and few others. second group are painkillers like vicodin, tylenol3, dolargan, codein, oxicontant etc ( I could misspell some names but You get the idea)
I write this thread without doing any research.
I just got a bad news from friend of mine and I am terrified. His girlfriend died from liver complications or liver failure rather.
What the drug in question was ? None of the above mentioned by me up above.
The name of the drug was Acetaminophen.
Which comes in a variety of different brands the most popular is Tylenol and Benadryl.
I was and am aware of this danger for many years. My friend wife is RN in one of the New York City hospitals, and she told me that if one wants to commit suicide.
All what one has to do is to pop few hundred of this popular babies, and bye bye
But the main problem comes with casual users plus the ones who mixed up with alcohol, even as simple as a glass of wine.
From top of my head I remember a story, that of one of the Bush´s family member needed a liver transplant and even was suing the drug company.
Can anyone can make a search on this one please. I am well too shaken up from the news I just got. I am not in the mood to sleep or eat let alone do any kind of research.
Also please share with us other potentially other harmful drugs that can be obtained without prescription.
I only have one link to offer, it is from lawyers site so be open minded. But I do know that the facts on that page are valid.
Here is the link: read this (http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/acetaminophen.html)
Just on the final note
I did not included in my post on purpose the MJ story because It is isolated incident.
And has nothing to do with my presented story/post.
