What the hell has been your best friend?

This past week we came across drug stories that caught our attention. Came Anvisa wanting to ban the use of weight loss medications and the dissemination of information that Brazilians have had Rivotril (Clonazepam) as a best friend.

You are one of those women who come into the office and ask for a tranquilizer when do you sit in the chair? Of those who do not live without a fluoxetine, Rivotril, Sertraline?

The use of these medications need to have precise indications and not just fulfill a request that behind hides your personal problems and your difficulty in solving them. In four years, the use of Riviolet anxiolytic rose 36%. Are all using with correct indication?


Of course this is the responsibility of the referring physician, but I want to bring reflection to everyone who uses these medications. Solving your family, loving, and financial problems with this resource is really not the best medicine. I am not referring here to patients who use these drugs properly to treat depression.

Take the? Anxiety pills? It won't make your life easier. On the contrary, it may even start another problem, drug addiction. I say this because I have friends and colleagues who on a request? Unpretentious? They tell me, "Anna, get me some anxiety medicine for me there?" Well, I don't think I need to comment on that anymore.

Psychotherapy is an option that works well for many non-serious cases where you can learn to deal with and resolve your issues without using drugs. Talk to your doctor about the real need for medications, about psychotherapy, and don't use other people's medicines because she says she feels better after use.

You are unique and with specific needs.
