Anybody see Oprah today (Wed., Nov. 19th)? All about suburban Moms who abused presciption drugs.
In the beginning of the show, Oprah said there are 11 million people addicted to prescription painkillers and benzos. Then she spent the whole show talking about painkiller addiction (percocet, vicodin,etc.)
I really wanted to hear some info about benzo addiction. As a GAD sufferer, I have been taking Xanax for far too long but it's better than the shaking panic. Still, I am worried about tolerance.
Anyway, the show was a disappointment to me today (and I never watch Oprah, just happened to catch the subject today), since it only focused on painkiller addiction.
Anybody else see today's show and feel the same way?
Regards,
JM
