Prescription drug abuse involves using medications prescribed by healthcare professionals in ways that differ from their intended purposes. This form of misuse ranges from using another individual's prescribed pain medication for minor discomfort to crushing pills for inhalation or injection to experience a heightened effect. Even though prescription drug misuse may lead to adverse outcomes, individuals may continue the behavior compulsively.

Prescription drug abuse impacts individuals of all ages, including teenagers. Commonly misused medications include opioid painkillers, anti-anxiety medications, sedatives, and stimulants.

Recognizing prescription drug misuse early and seeking timely intervention can help prevent progression to addiction.

Symptoms depend on the type of medication being misused:

Opioids (e.g., oxycodone [Oxycontin, Percocet], hydrocodone [Norco])

• Constipation
• Nausea
• Euphoric sensations
• Reduced breathing rate
• Drowsiness
• Confusion
• Poor motor coordination
• Increased dosage required for effective pain relief
• Heightened sensitivity or worsening pain at increased doses

Anti-anxiety medications and sedatives (e.g., alprazolam [Xanax], diazepam [Valium], zolpidem [Ambien])

• Drowsiness
• Confusion
• Unsteady walking
• Slurred speech
• Difficulty concentrating
• Dizziness
• Memory impairments
• Slowed breathing

Stimulants (e.g., methylphenidate [Ritalin, Concerta], dextroamphetamine-amphetamine [Adderall XR, Mydayis], dextroamphetamine [Dexedrine])

People misuse prescription drugs for various reasons, including:

• Experiencing euphoria
• Relieving stress or tension
• Managing pain
• Reducing appetite
• Enhancing alertness
• Experimenting with drug effects
• Maintaining addiction or avoiding withdrawal symptoms
• Social acceptance or peer pressure
• Improving academic or work performance

Individuals may worry about becoming addicted to medications prescribed for legitimate medical reasons, such as post-surgery pain relief. Following your healthcare provider's guidelines precisely reduces this risk.

Key risk factors include:

• History of substance abuse
• Family history of addiction
• Pre-existing mental health conditions
• Social environments with drug use or peer pressure
• Easy access to prescription medications
• Lack of knowledge about medication risks

Prescription drug misuse among older adults is increasing, particularly when combined with alcohol. Multiple health conditions and medications increase the risk of misuse and addiction in this group.

Complications

Prescription drug misuse can lead to serious complications, including death, particularly when combined with other substances or consumed in high doses.

Potential Medical Consequences:

• Opioids: Slow breathing rate, coma, overdose, and potential death.
• Anti-anxiety medications and sedatives: Memory loss, low blood pressure, slowed breathing, coma, or death. Abrupt cessation can trigger seizures and an overactive nervous system.
• Stimulants: High body temperature, cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, seizures, tremors, hallucinations, aggression, and paranoia.

Dependence and Addiction:

• Physical Dependence: The body adapts to regular medication use, requiring higher doses for the same effect and experiencing withdrawal when use is reduced or stopped.

Other Consequences:

• Engaging in risky or illegal behaviors
• Increased risk of accidents
• Declining academic or work performance
• Strained personal relationships

If prescribed medication with misuse potential, consider the following preventive measures:

• Ensure the medication prescribed matches your condition.
• Regularly review your medication use with your healthcare provider.
• Strictly follow prescribed dosages and instructions.
• Understand medication effects and interactions from your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
• Avoid using medications prescribed for someone else.
• Purchase prescriptions only from reputable pharmacies.

Preventing Prescription Drug Misuse Among Teens:

• Clearly communicate the risks associated with prescription drug misuse.
• Establish firm rules about medication use and sharing.
• Discuss the dangers of mixing medications with alcohol.
• Secure medications to limit unauthorized access.
• Monitor your teen’s online activity for potential prescription drug purchases.
• Properly dispose of unused or expired medications by consulting disposal instructions or seeking pharmacist advice.

Being informed and proactive can significantly reduce prescription drug abuse and its associated risks and complications.
