Michimich.com/10274974

PLYMOUTH, Mich. - Michimich -- Misuse of medications is something that can happen at any age. But the senior population might be at greater risk if they have difficulty remembering proper use of their medication or have trouble reading the instructions on their prescriptions. Misuse of medication, especially pain killers, can lead to serious issues, so it's important to be aware of the signs of misuse to help spot a problem and act fast!

Signs of medication misuse.

• Clear changes in behavior like mood swings and excessive or unusual angry outbursts.
• A sudden increase in daytime fatigue or drowsiness is another red flag. Taking the correct dosage of medication shouldn't leave a person noticeably loopy in the middle day.
• A series of falls or trouble with balance can be a sign of misuse. While falls are more likely to occur in the older population, if you notice a sudden change in coordination or several minor falls in recent weeks, medication could be the culprit.
• Depression or withdrawal from social activities or family may suggest a misuse of medication. Chronic pain could also be to blame for this kind of behavior. Either way, it's something to address.
• If you're worried about possible misuse of medication, one way to check is by comparing the refill date on the medication and how many doses are left. If the meds are nearly gone and there are still a few weeks before the refill date, something's not matching up!
