Dr Ron Unfiltered and Uncensored Polypharmacy

In the decade between 2004 and 2013, the number of seniors taking at least threepsychiatric meds more than doubled. And for those who live in rural parts of the country, it tripled!

I'm talking about drugs such as opioids like Percocet and Demerol, antidepressants such as Prozac and Paxil, antipsychotics including the dementia med Abilify, and tranquilizers like .

So why are seniors taking so many of these drugs? And -- perhaps more importantly -- why are their doctors prescribing them at this rate? It seems you can't turn on your TV or computer without a daily story about the dangers of opioids or others on this long list -- yet they're still flying off the Rx pad.
