Dentists, Dramamine, and Teen Opioids: Atypical's Take on Addiction Risks
“There's a recent research that talked about the dispensing of opioids, really causing extractions, I should say creating a high risk of addiction with teens.”
Ever thought about how something as mundane as a dentist visit could tie into addiction? In this episode of 'Atypical', hosts Mary Crocker Cook and Gary Montrezza tackle some surprising topics. They kick things off by discussing the potential for addiction with dramamine, a common sedative often used by those with anxiety. The conversation then shifts to a pressing issue: the alarming rates of opioid prescriptions given to teens and the resulting risks of addiction.
Mary and Gary don’t shy away from calling out unethical practices in the drug treatment industry and the pharmaceutical companies that play a role in the opioid crisis. Their candid discussions are peppered with personal stories and reflections, making the episode both relatable and enlightening. But it’s not all heavy. The episode wraps up with a lighter note as Gary shares his latest gardening adventures, adding a touch of humor and authenticity.
