The top 5 dangers of Narcotics

Prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem in the United States and in a recent year, one death occurred every 19 minutes due to drug overdosing. There are medical reasons to take narcotics and should be taken only when prescribed by a medical professional and under supervision and no more than the instructed amount. There are several dangers to watch out for and here are some of them:

Narcotics: a drug that in moderate doses, dulls the senses, relieves pain, and induces profound sleep but in excessive doses causes stupor, coma, or convulsions.
  1. Physiological addiction: This can lead to infections, diseases, and toxic overdoses. Narcotics are only meant to be be taken when other pain killers will not take away the pain. They are highly addictive and very destructive to your body.
  2. Psychological Addiction: Your brain can get highly addicted to narcotics and soon it is a mind game. Some people believe they can only function on these pills, be happy on these pills, and that it stops them from being angry.
  3. Sleepiness and Coma's: By taking too many of these pills, many people sleep their day away on the couch and wake up just to take another pill.
  4. Reduces the ability to focus: When you are on these pills, your senses are numbed and you may walk around like in a stupor. Your eyes will have a glassy look and somewhat bloodshot.
  5. Less physical activity: You will become lazy and sit around more than you usually would. You may also experience watery eyes, runny nose, yawing, sweating, restlessness, irritability, and loss of appetite along with constipation.
If you are on these pills regularly, you will also gain a tolerance to them and will need to up your dosage to get the same effect they once had on you. It is a continual growing phase and will not stop unless you quit cold turkey. Many people soon experience loneliness and cannot concentrate on anything. They isolate themselves from everyone and soon have no social life. They soon become a burden to society as they soon cannot take care of themselves or anyone else and if they have a significant other or children, society has to step up and take care of them.
If you or someone you know is addicted to these drugs, the first thing to do is tell someone and to seek help. you can click on this link to learn more.

  1. I am from USA. I was suffering from HEPATITIS B for over 3 years, i was hopeless until one of my friend directed me to a herbal DR. Dr Chike on Youtube, she said the Dr has herbal medicine that treat HEPATITIS B also said the Dr has helped people with. HERPES, CANCER, DIABETES, HPV, HERPES, HSV 1 .2, Fever, Fibromyalgia, Fatigue and chronic pains. At first I never believed her but after a lot of talk. I decided to contact him, just few days ago i contacted him and he told me what to do which i did and he sent to me a herbal medicine via {DHL} with prescriptions on how i will take it for a period of days. After i finished taking the medicine for 2 weeks he told me to go for a test which i also did and when the result came out i was surprised to see that i am negative. I am proud to tell you that I am the happiest person on earth. Big thanks to Dr Chike herbs .. I pray you find a solution in him.
