Common Prescription Drugs Increase Depression Risk

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Common Prescription Drugs Increase Depression Risk By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs When Richard Farina wrote "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me" in 1966, he knew the beat and hippie subcultures from the inside out, and felt the world was so topsy-turvy that feeling down was a kind of new normal — fueled in part by drugs. Depression is a new normal because of common drugs they take is something an astounding 37 percent of American adults can relate to, according to a study published in JAMA. Special: [#1 Food to Eliminate ‘Bone on Bone’ Pain]( Researchers looked at the medication use of more than 26,000 adults from 2005 to 2014. It turns out that 203 often-used prescription drugs — some of which are also available over-the-counter — have depression and/or suicide listed as side effects. The meds included proton pump inhibitors and antacids, as well as sedatives, anti-seizure meds, hormonal contraception, blood pressure and heart medications, and painkillers. The research also showed that if you're taking more than one of these drugs, your risk of depression increases. Around 15 percent of adults who use three or more, which is not uncommon, experience depression. That compares to just 5 percent of folks taking none, and 7 percent of those taking one. So if you're feeling fatigued, sleeping too much or not enough, are sad or disengaged, or think about suicide, talk to your doctor about the prescription and over-the-counter meds you're taking. You may want to explore alternatives, including lifestyle changes that could ease pain and digestive woes and lower blood pressure, or opt for nonhormonal contraception. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL Tens of millions of Americans (more than 50 million at last count) have experienced something like this scenario, and maybe you’re one of them… You go to see the doctor because you have a stiff, painful joint that just won’t quit—and he says the exact words you don’t want to hear. He tells you that your poor joint is now BONE ON BONE. Here’s what that means… In a healthy joint—a knee, elbow, hip, shoulder or any other spot where two bones meet—the ends of the bones are covered by cartilage. This smooth, white “connective tissue”—a kind of cross between soft muscle and hard bone—literally cushions every joint, making effortless movement possible. But time isn’t kind to our joints. As the years pass, cartilage can erode. Cell by cell, it just wears away. Until there’s so little left that the two bones constantly bump into each other. Ouch! Nagging pain replaces pain-free living. Stiffness replaces flexibility. And those achy joints often have a strange soundtrack—the creepy “bone music” doctors call crepitus. These grating, grinding, crunchy, creaky sounds are produced when--you guessed it--one bone rubs against another. Now, maybe you’re feeling pretty hopeless about this “bone on bone” situation. If there’s no cartilage left, what chance do you have of relieving pain and stiffness? Not to mention being able to do the things you love, like going for a pain-free walk or happily playing with your rambunctious grandchildren. Short of a joint replacement, it seems like a joint that’s “bone on bone” is a lost cause. Well, as a board-certified naturopathic physician who uses non-drug remedies to control and reverse my patients’ chronic health problems, I’m here to tell you… THAT’S NOT TRUE! I’m here to tell you that even in cases of bone on bone joint pain, there’s hope for relief. NEAR-INSTANT RELIEF! I’m talking 30 seconds! You can’t get much more “instant” than that. In fact, [this one-step approach]( is SO simple and SO powerful that the doctor who created it is called “The Joint Whisperer”—because the therapy he’s describing literally “talks” to your bones so that they behave. Or you can think of the therapy as an-all natural “cushion” that quietly slips into the space between your joints, providing a way to stop bone rubbing on bone. [This unique therapy]( can restore range of motion. Reduce scarring. Relieve muscle tension and pain. And—most importantly—it douses the chronic inflammation that is THE main cause of vanishing cartilage. And since chronic inflammation is the culprit behind so many health problems, this “bone on bone” therapy affects other organs too. It can… * Vitalize your heart, restoring good circulation. * Energize your brain, improving mood and granting deeper sleep. * De-age your skin, restoring youthful shine. * Not bad for 30 seconds of your time! So what is this “one-step” approach that provides relief in less than 30 seconds per day? The doctor behind it put together a [short video that explains exactly what it is]( and how to do it every day to start feeling relief from pain once and for all. But I must warn you… this video is a bit controversial. And it’s ruffled more than a few feathers in the medical industry because of just how effective this natural solution is for destroying pain. Because of that, this video is constantly under attack and I can’t guarantee it will be available to watch for much longer. So please… don’t put this off...
