Medications stop working days after taking them...?

Basically I've noticed a pattern with myself for a few years now...most medications that I take, whether they are prescriptions or over the counter stop working or work to a lesser degree after a few days or so of me taking them. It feels as though my tolerance for them increases very quickly and I'm usually left with a lot of side effects from the drug but no benefit. Even something simple like Tylenol...I cant take it too often or I know it wont work anymore. I'm wondering could there be something wrong with the way my liver metabolizes foreign compounds?

Although I'm not sure how relevant this may be I did use to take a lot of drugs(street drugs) and abuse prescription drugs(60 pills a day average)...haven't done those in 5 years now though. And I don't drink.

    Hi, You sound like another SSRI victim! I was prescribed medication for post natal depression 11 years ago and had the most horrific experience. Some are worse than others but ideally wean yourself off them. Don't listen to the negative comments posted they are ignorant to your situation and don't know any better. As for DWP same thing happened to me even though I am taking legal action against glaxosmithkline still got turned down, my report also contained untruths, so nothing shocks me anymore after that! The whole world is corrupt and money is the root of this. You didn't say how old you are? How long you have been taking Prozac and drinking? Although I have never drank (DOESN'T MIX WITH RUNNING A NIGHTCLUB!!) I do know that alone can be soul destroying and hope you find your inner peace and can be happy. Sounds like turning point to me? The fact that you are asking on here shows your self awareness and wanting to change your current status. If you would like to contact me please feel free or maybe look up this link regarding SSRIs Seroxat Stand up and be counted or Seroxatuser group. Good Luck xxxxxxxxxxxx
