Follow the money.
Sounds like a problem with doctors more than with the patients.
Are they just trying to get older people out of their hair?
The number of retirement-age Americans taking at least three psychiatric drugs...
Oh, psychiatric drugs!
I thought I was going to have to add another Psychedelic

She lived to be 92 in good health.
Nearly 46 percent of people with at least three prescriptions had no diagnosis of a mood, chronic pain or sleep problem, the study found.
Weird. Perhaps the patients are watching medicine ads on television. Then they request the drug from their doctor, and he writes a prescription, without bothering to make a diagnosis.
How many are taking them as recreation?
He’s 55, married for 30 years in a children-centered marriage, empty nest now, nothing in common, she walked out, he’s emotionally and socially upside down. Doc softens him up, gives him Rx for anxiety/depression.

I recall a few years ago when the pharma meds weren’t really helping & talking with my physician about how bad I was feeling. She spent the rest of our time together asking me if I had taken X, Y & Z, etc. She was so convinced there was a medicine on her list that must surely treat my depression.
So thankful I stopped taking that pharma crap & replaced it with cannabis in Feb 2015. I pray when I get into my 6th decade & beyond I won’t come down with a malady related to all those year of anti-depressants & Ativan.

It almost seems that medical marijuana would be a healthier alternative.
Well we all know it’s better to walk around in blinding pain on 2 hours sleep than to suffer dizziness. As far as ‘confusion’ I know from my own experience that chronic insomnia leaves one sharp as a tack.
I’ll stick with Chivas Regal.
Because we’re all Looney Tunes.
Hey, if you’re prescribed those drugs, your second amendment is Null and Void.
Just say’.
