Unprescribed Self Medication

2019-09-23 14:13:48
Hi, My friend is taking pain killers without any prescription. She says that she is having headaches but I think she just likes to take pills. I've done everything I can to tell her to stop doing this or visit a psychiatrist. But she is not listening to me at all. I know these pills are gonna have side effects on her eventually. But I don't know what to do anymore. She is taking Advil, Motrin and Anaprox that I know of. She could be taking something more than that. Give me some options as to what I can do about it.

She might be suffering from migraine. Tell her that the doctor will not stop her medicines, might give her better medicines instead. Need to get some tests done as well. If she's not ready to go to a doctor,  you can consult online too.

You can take a horse to the water but cannot make it drink. She is an adult and has chosen not to heed to any sane advice.

The only thing that you can do is try n convince her to see a psychiatrist.  If she is not willing to do so there is nothing much you can do.
