Facts
- The recovery process for prescription drug abuse and addiction is very similar to that of illicit street drugs. Once the addict accepts the help they need they will go through a drug withdrawal process and work on learning the life skills and coping skills they lack to stay off drugs.
- The purple hue from "purple drank" is caused by the dyes in the prescription narcotic cough syrup.
- In 2006 there were a total of 30 million stimulant prescriptions dispensed by U.S. retail pharmacies. This number increased substantially in the years following with upwards of 45 million stimulant prescriptions dispensed by U.S. retail pharmacies in 2010.�''
- Prescription Drugs are big business with high profits. The ongoing creation by major international drug companies of expanded markets and new markets for antidepressants include new "alleged diseases" such as "social anxiety disorder" for which Paxil is being promoted heavily in advertising; Prozac as Serafem to treat "mood imbalances associated with premenstrual syndrome" and since Prozac has gone off patent, the drug manufacturer, Eli Lilly has received approval to market an once-weekly version of the drug (based on its "new coating").
