    Addiction Feedback: any drug can kill you if you use it irresponsibly

    you can easily look up any drug and find out if it can be used recreationally and what doses are safe for the general population

    Addiction Feedback: Most of the time teens will take them, even not knowing what their affects will be, just to see if they will provide some kind of high. They figure if it comes in a prescription bottle it must be good.

    Addiction Feedback: prescription drugs are a very scary addiction to have I have expeirenced it, you should always make sure that you talk to your doctor when you are on medication, tell him/her that you are worried about becoming addicted and find out how high the dependence rate is on that drug, always ask for the least addictive option there is. NEVER over use prescription medication and try not to stay on it any longer than you have too, it is very scary when you become addicted to any drug, physically and mentally, always find out as much information as you can about all precription medications
