Some scare me --- but you can still find some who aren't that into drugs. A friend of mine's mother was gulping down handfuls of pills several times a day and her blood pressure was still out of control. When they moved, she found a new doctor who took her off all medications, prescribed one hour of walking every day --- rain or shine and a balanced diet but mostly fruit and vegetables. Her blood pressure soon fell. Maybe the pharmacuetical companies weren't too fond of him. Health care is big business and it's best to remember that.
My mom is hopelessly addicted to Serax plus other drugs doctors have prescribed for her for anxiety, depression, etc.
This is the start of the horror stories I know. The horror stories are not the exception, they're the rule. That's the scary part.
