Number of Infants with Opiate Addiction Triples – Transcript by Newsy: www.youtube.com BY JASMINE BAILEY ANCHOR LAUREN GORES A new study suggests that a growing number of babies in the US are being born dependent on prescription painkillers. Denver’s KUSA reports. “Every hour, one baby in America is born addicted to drugs like painkillers. A study in the journal of American Medicine says the number of babies addicted to that class of drugs has nearly tripled in the past decade.” According to Fox News — Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome or NAS has become an epidemic — and is also taking a toll on hospital finances. “…total hospital costs for NAS jumped from 0 million to 0 million per year from 2000 to 2009.” Symptoms of NAS can be severe and according to CNN — the symptoms are similar to those experienced by adults. “They have a characteristic piercing cry, they’re very jittery, irritable, sometimes they have seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty with feedings is also very common.” Not only are there withdrawal symptoms for newborn babies, but according to ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ the fetus can also experience severe withdrawal symptoms. “If the mother tries to get off the drugs this can cause even more of a problem, the babies can have seizures in utero so you actually have to keep the mothers on a narcotic during the pregnancy for the safety of the baby.”

Question by Kara: How can i get the medication i need without being labeled a drug seeker?
I have suffered from social anxiety for as long as I can remember. A few months ago I decided I had had enough and went to my family doctor for help. I was open minded when she suggested anti depressants and gave it a go, hoping they would be the answer. I took them regularly for a month with no real effect on my anxiety so when I went in for a follow up I mentioned to her that it wasn’t working and I was experiencing side effects such as depression, insomnia, and irritability. I asked if there was something else I could try and she looked at me and said “I’m not going to give you Ativan or Xanax becuase of the potential for abuse.” I was shocked at her narrow mindedness to one treatment that wasn’t working. Is it time to find a new doc or is there another approach I can take with her? I just want to be able to do normal things like go to the store witbout a panic attack. Please help. Any advice is much appreciated.
Actually, I have been on Paxil, Zoloft, and Prozac in the time frame mentioned because of negative side effects. If the side effects were not so unbearable, I would not mind staying on them and giving them another chance. Believe me, benzodiazepines are not my first choice, nor did I ask for them. I asked for another method of treatment and my doc assumed that was what I was after. In my years of anxiety I have tried many, more conservative options such as yoga, meditation, massage, and therapy. When none of this worked it convinced me there must be something medically wrong, hence I turned to my family doctor.
