What Are Nerve Pills and Should They Really Be Taken in This Situation?
Question by joyce: What are nerve pills and should they really be taken in this situation?
My best friend is a single mom with a very difficult to deal with 4 year old little boy. He has behavior problems and doesn’t listen to her commands. She is very stressed out from dealing with him because the father is not in the picture, her family is 8 hours away and she is raising him all alone.
She works at a job dealing with special needs teenagers that can become physically violent at any moment. She says that the stresses of her job and then having to come home late in the evenings and deal with her son are starting to effect her health.
She says her memory is starting to go and her hair is starting to fall out. She plans on going to the doctor and asking for a prescription for nerve pills to deal with her problems. Are drugs really the solution here?
I am concerned about her but am not really able to help much because she lives in Maryland and I am way up in Michigan. Should she really be taking nerve pills to deal with her everyday life?

That depends on her physical situation and only her doctor or therapist can determine that. I have been on Clonazepam for years, but I’ll tell you, they are all addictive and if she can work it out on her own, it’s for the best because you just have to keep going up and up on the mg. As for her 4 year old, she needs to try different parenting strategies. A four year old is not intentionally disobeying – this is obviously a pattern that has formed for his short life. She can overcome that with a little bit of correction on his part in the form of discipline (time out) and rewards for only good behavior. As for her job, perhaps she should choose a different profession if dealing with special needs children is making her life so horrible. Hope this helps.
