Do you take medication daily? For what? Are medications over-prescribed? Or are they a valuable resource?

Asked by gimmedat (3951points) March 27th, 2009 from iPhone

Every time I am referred to a new doctor for chronic pain, I am prescribed a new medication. I often wonder how people from earlier generations got by with such limited medicinal interventions. Are doctors too quick to prescribe medications, or are we fortunate that these interventions exist?
