john24+FollowCould Your Meds Up Dementia Risk?Just found out that some super common meds for things like depression, bladder issues, and Parkinson’s could seriously raise your risk of dementia if you take them long-term. Researchers say people 55+ on strong anticholinergic drugs daily for years had almost a 50% higher risk! Not all meds in this group are risky, but if you’re on antidepressants, bladder, or Parkinson’s meds, maybe time to chat with your doc about options. Don’t stop cold turkey though! #HealthNews #DementiaRisk #MedicationAwareness #Health #BodyHealth20Share
Spencer Brewer+FollowFDA Drug Safety Updates on Pause?!Just found out the FDA’s drug safety updates have been MIA for weeks—normally, there are dozens every month! Turns out, staff cuts and new approval rules are causing major delays, so alerts about new side effects or tainted meds aren’t getting out fast enough. That means people could be taking risky meds without knowing. If this freaks you out, you can actually contact your reps and ask them to push for faster, clearer updates. This is wild! #DrugSafety #FDA #MedicationAwareness #HealthNews #Transparency #Health71Share
Mrs3aster+FollowTreatment Over JudgmentOr maybe it’s called dependency? There’s a huge difference between addiction and needing prescribed medication for quality of life. Addiction is harmful, compulsive use that ruins lives—dependency is a managed medical need under a doctor’s care. Nobody calls a diabetic ‘addicted’ to insulin—they’re dependent. Same with nerve pain meds: it’s treatment, not a moral failing. Everyone’s body is different; what works for one person may not for another. That’s why there are warnings and doctors overseeing it. Wishing you the best, and thank you for speaking up and sharing your side—keep being strong and keep being great! 👉 What are your thoughts or experiences with the difference between dependency and addiction? #DependencyNotAddiction #MedicationAwareness #ChronicPainRelief #TreatmentNotAddiction #MentalHealthMatters #InvisibleIllness #QualityOfLife#Awareness #Wellness #Healing #SupportEachOther #YourStoryMatters 218Share
