6% of women in America (7.5 million) are abusing prescription medications. Most mothers in America are trying to juggle work, children and other activities that it takes to run a household. In an attempt to handle the stress that accompanies these activities women have turned to prescription medications like Aderrol, Xanax, and pain medications.
Because a common misconception is pills are safer than street drugs, women may not even realized that they are addicted to these drugs until it is too late. Prescription medication abuse can hit someone when they least expect it, usually it isn’t until these women stop taking the medications that they realize they are addicted. Withdrawal symptoms can range from sleeplessness, anxiety, body aches to even seizures.
