The most commonly used prescription drugs are:
Opioids like Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percodan, Percocet), Propoxyphene (Darvon), Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet), Hydromorphone (Dilaudid), Meperidine (Demerol), Diphenoxylate (Lomotil), Morphine (Kadian, Avinza, MS Contin), Codeine, Fentanyl (Duragesic), and Methadone are generally prescribed for Postsurgical pain relief, control of acute or chronic pain, cure of cough and diarrhea. Opioids get attached to opioid receptors present in the brain and spinal cord, and causes to block the feeling of pain. The short-term effects reduces pain, causes drowsiness, constipation, weakened respiration. Sometimes over dosage can cause serious respiratory depression or death.
CNS Depressants like Barbiturates such as Mephobarbital (Mebaral), Pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal) and Benzodiazepines such as Diazepam (Valium), Chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride (Librium), Alprazolam (Xanax), Triazolam (Halcion), Estazolam (ProSom), Clonazepam (Klonopin), Lorazepam (Ativan) are generally prescribed for anxiety, tension, panic attacks, intense stress reactions, sleep disorders, and anesthesia. CNS depressants decelerate the activity of brain generating a calming effect. The short-term effects are sleepy and clumsy feeling during the first few days. When these drugs are suddenly stopped, then there will be convulsive attacks.
Stimulants like Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine and Adderall) and Methylphenidate (Ritalin and Concerta) are generally prescribed for Narcolepsy, Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Depression. Stimulants increases brain activity, generating increase in alertness, attention, and energy. Short-term effects are raised blood pressure, increased heart rate, increased respiration, reduced appetite, and loss of sleep. Over doses can cause dangerously high body temperature or an irregular heartbeat, cardiovascular failure or harmful seizures.
The long-term use of any prescription drug leads to physical dependence and addiction.
