Should you always consult a doctor or can you achieve a more satisfactory result doing it yourself. What made you feel the best... consuming illegal drugs or legal drugs purchased illegally or trying to follow doctors orders?

I believe in letting the body heal it's self. Doctors definitely over prescribe, mostly because they get a cut of the profits not to mention create more business from the side effects of the drugs. For example after an injury, your bodies natural response is to inflame to protect the area from further injury but doctors want you to take an anti-inflammatory. Yes they will relieve some of the pain but a lot of the time unneccessary, and I do believe there is a time and a place for just about every medicine but doctors just hand them out like candy!!
Sorry if this wasn't the answer you were looking for, I just want to try to get people to see the harm that overuse of prescriptions can do!

I think a lot of people self medicate. Not just illegal drugs, but with food, sugar, caffeine, booze, too much exercise, being on the cell phone all the time, video games, etc. These are all ways to zone out.

If you plan on self-medicating, you need to do your research. Illegal drugs are not the best way to go ... no quality control. Pharmaceuticals aren't always easy to come by. Your best bet is to seek a naturopath or homeopath; both deal with alternative and complimentary medicine. If you don't know any, you can go to www.trinityschool.org to find a list of Doctor of Naturopathy graduates in your state or www.homeopathy.org to find a homeopath.

I've been self medicating for most of my life. I've seen what the drugs doctors pass out does to people and it's not going to happen to me. you don't have to take drugs to self medicate. You just have to do a lot of studying on anatomy, physiology, and herbalism.

considering the facts that some illegal drug should be legal,and that some legal drugs should comes into play.and with all the anti drug propaganda out there its a crap shoot.did you know they just did a study that shows that a 2 gram dose of phillociben mushrooms are equal to 6 months of therapy for troubled relationships.So with all the options out there,stay safe and just use your best judgment coupled with a lot of research.
