      But thats like their main point. Pharmacist do know a lot about drugs. It’s important to know about negative drug interactions and a pharmacist is more likely to catch it since they most likely know all the drugs you are taking. Your GP might not know about the drugs your psychiatrist gave you or that off-label drug your dermatologist gave you because people are horrible at knowing what drugs they are on and for what purpose.

      There are a lot of bad prescriptions to be honest. The amount of people who are prescribed both Adderall and large fills of benzos is too damn high.

          That was a shame. Because now we have gone the opposite direction and they are massively under prescribed to who need it.

          They aren’t even that addictive. Look up addiction rates for people prescribed them legitimately. But saying they were non addictive is obviously fucked up… Pharma reps were literally gaslighting doctors into thinking that they just weren’t prescribing enough and that’s why their patients were having pain, after 12 hours. Definitely not withdrawal symptoms
