A medication is a licensed drug that cures or reduces the symptons of an illness. Over-the-counter drug medications are available in pharmacies and supermarkets without special restrictions and prescription medication must be prescribed by a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, doctor or dentist.
Cholesterol medication includes Vytorin, Lipitor, Lescol, Mevacor, Pravachol, Zocor, Nicobid, Atromid-S, Tricor, Lopid, Questran and Colestid.
Epilepsy medication includes Tegretol, Zarontin, Neurontin, Topamax, Lamictal, Trileptal, Dilantin, Cerebyx, Depakene and Keppra.
As for weight loss medication, it should be only prescribed to morbidly obese people. For example, Xenical is a drug that is indicated to those who are truly obese. If you want to lose weight, forget about the different pills you see on television. The key of a successful weight loss is changing your eating habits and do more exercise.
Medication for depression can help you to get out of it but there are many side effects. In fact, these side effects include drowsiness, sexual dysfunctions, nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, seizures, weight gains, cardiac problems, blood pressure changes, dry mouth, sweating, blurred vision and constipation. Your doctor is the only person who knows what medication is right for you.

After leaving the hospital last night, I had my fourth prescription in less than a week. Last week, I had my wisdom teeth removed, so I was given valium (not pictured), penicillin (right), and percocet (left). Add to that the vicodin (center), and you get this.
I typically get about 1 prescription per year, usually for pain from a sports injury, so it's weird to me to have so many within a week. :-)

Overmedicated nation USA -36 million people or more are on drugs.
The number one goal of drug makers in dispatching sales
representatives to meet with doctors face-to-face is to increase sales by convincing doctors to prescribe drugs off-label for unapproved uses, by saying whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
Big Pharma pays for thousands of speeches by doctors each year because companies can not legally promote off-label uses. So in other words, the law allows drug makers to hire doctors to do the dirty work that would be illegal for the company itself.
Psychiatry treats people as if they are broken mechanical devices that can be tinkered with by a person who knows much less about the brain than the average mechanic knows about your car.
Use the brains not a drugs. Surrealism/ Nellie Vin.
