Getting addicted to prescription drugs

The topic in my Psychology class today was interesting that a lot of my classmates are amazed and even myself. The topic started with the question "How can money influence us as a "drug?" Previously, we had watch the episode of "The Office -Money" and today we are going to talk about it and relate it of course with real life. But there are times that the class gets a little side tract and there's some topic that gets injected with the discussion. But so far this drug issue was still on the discussion.

Just to give you a little bit of information about my class, most of the students are going into nursing and some are in Psychology major but majority are in the nursing field. So the discussion about nursing career and money went on for a while and then we got into the topic of drugs... and two of my classmate were going over the drugs that they were taking in order to keep them in normal mood.

For somebody who is not taking any medicine you will be shock as to how many types of drugs these two person are taking. The girl on my side was telling us about a drug that she was taking and after she took the drug she didn't sleep for almost 4 days. My professor ask if she was diagnosed with something related to psychiatric issue in order to take the drugs and she said that she just went to her family doctor and told the doctor that all her friends were taking the drug and is helping them focus in school. So she wants to take it too. Now I am not really sure if she is telling us the truth or that she is in drugs (probably) that's why she said that. During the discussion one student event pointed out a appetite suppressant which I cannot remember the name is, but it got into the topic. I guess due to the fact that one topic was drug, so it got injected to the discussion.

Does my class seems to be a little crazy? I think it is.

But the thing about this is that, I cannot believe how many medicines these two women are taking. For somebody like me who absolutely hates taking any medicine and not in any type of medicine, I am already getting dizzy as to how much medicine they are taking just to go on with their normal life. Oh and take note, these women are much much younger than I am... probably in their early 20's.
