What Is Prescription Drug Misuse?
Prescription drug misuse occurs when medications are taken in ways other than prescribed — higher doses, more frequent use, or use without a prescription. This can lead to physical dependence, tolerance, and serious health risks. Misuse includes taking medicine in a way or dose other than prescribed, taking someone else’s medicine, or using it to feel euphoria.Types of Medications Commonly Misused
Benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan)
- Used for anxiety or sleep
- Risk of dependence and dangerous withdrawal if stopped suddenly
Stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin)
- Used for ADHD or narcolepsy
- Can lead to heart problems, insomnia, or addiction when misused
Sedative-Hypnotics (e.g., Ambien, Lunesta)
- Used for sleep disorders
- Risk of memory issues, dependence, or misuse over time
Common Signs of Prescription Drug Misuse
- Taking more than prescribed or running out early
- Using medications to relax, escape, or “feel normal”
- Visiting multiple doctors for the same prescription
- Memory problems, drowsiness, or mood changes
- Increased tolerance or withdrawal symptoms between doses
- Anxiety, depression, or sleep issues tied to use
What Are Withdrawal Risks?
Many prescription drugs — especially benzos and sedatives — can cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly. These may include:- Panic, anxiety, or insomnia
- Headaches, body aches, or GI issues
- Mood swings or agitation
