If you think these drugs are unhelpful or even unnecessary, then don't take them; no one is jamming them down your throat.

You don't have the right to tell others how they must conduct their lives or that your experiences with certain drugs therefore necessarily represent the experiences of others for whom these drugs are essential to their well-being.

It's true that some doctors do overprescribe, but is this an argument for taking away all doctors' prescription pads?

I don't see where I am suggesting taking away doctor's prescription pads.

Doctors are trusted by their patients. They have a responsibility to their patients. Regardless of our profession -- pilot, police, lawyer, journalist, doctor, etc. -- we all have to be responsible and accountable.
