"Self Medication"

Self medication is medicating yourself according to your self state or due to doctor's prescription. Self medication is done very sensitively so that the body should not react to the medicine. Self medication is important because in the mean time you are not near to a specialist or a doctor to treat you accordingly, moreover, doctor will take conduct tests and wait for result or can ask you about your condition and medicate accordingly to it because the doctor is not aware of your condition or if a doctor of it, so it will first conduct certain tests to treat you accordingly.

Q: Do you experience any adverse effect of your self Medication.

Yeah, I was once affected with oral medication. I used "PARACETAMOL" in a more quantity, it affected me a little. I used it for headache, it increased my headache a little more, it was used to lower my head pain but it increased it. My body needed sleep but I used medication to help me so it was my blender to use medication instead of sleeping. I also believe that stress medication also creates problems for you.
