GEEZ! ...are some medications worth it?

You look 'em up , and the side affects and long term affects really make me wonder if its just better to hack it out med free.

Do doctors even pay attention to what you say? Ive just been given stuff that made my blood pressure sky rocket to stroke levels .

This isnt the first time my doctor has been ignorant . I want to throttle her . She takes no notes , and shoves pills at me with no questions asked.

And i chose her coz she's indian, [you know , India indian , not red indian,] Not to stereo type , but i thought she might be open to more treatments than just shoving tablets at a person .

Im so over this .
I think ill stick with cold Turkey .....and booze😏

You have any bad choices by doctors thrown at you ?

Yep, some doc's seem to just think about the immediate issue. Then there's the matter of continuing to prescribe for extended periods. Leading to over prescription thus exacerbating the initial problem &/or leading to addiction & permanent problems.
Hope you sort your issue out quickly.
@nowic2 yeah, this is what i want to avoid .
And it is sorted . I was only on it for three days before i quit myself .
It FELT all wrong! I started getted bleeding noses!
It was insane . And that wasnt the only nasty symptom.

I had a few issues with this doctor prescribing stuff which had side affects worse than my initial health isssue.

So now, im researching food as medicine , and i feel so much better.

I just think that in this day and age , with the resources available to doctors , this shouldnt happen very often .
