Is Someone You Love Addicted to OTC Drugs?

What are OTC drugs and can you see them in a handwriting sample?

OTC (over-the-counter) drugs are medications that can be purchased at any grocery store, pharmacy or anywhere medication may be purchased without a prescription. The most commonly abused OTC's are any ephedrine-based medications as well as pseudoephedrine. These are key ingredients in most diet aids and sinus medications.

Ephedrine is an herb-based product that speeds up the heart rate and is commonly used to boost energy and lose weight.

Ephedrine and its counterpart, pseudoephedrine, are both stimulants. Their ability to increase the metabolism and the desire for physical activity are well-known. As a sinus medication, they are used to dry up the sinus and dilate the bronchial tubes to promote freer breathing. As a diet aid, ephedrine-based medications decrease the appetite. Excessive use of these drugs on a regular day-to-day basis can be very detrimental to a person's health.

Some of the organs that are affected are the heart, liver and nervous system. Over a period of time the emotional well-being of the person is affected.

All one has to do is read the warning label on any product containing these ingredients to understand the seriousness. So, what is it like to live with someone who is addicted to OTC's?

At best, it is comparable to living with someone who suffers from manic depression. It is a continuous emotional roller coaster, not only for the drug user but for those persons around him or her. It's a Jekyll and Hyde scenario. Remember the child's toy, jack-in-the-box? One never knows who will pop out. As you view the sample, keep in mind that this is only one aspect of this individual.

Ephedrine "jacks up" the nervous system, creating a false high...which usually results in a very extreme low. Big mood swings.

To cover all the "personalities" exhibited would require more samples of the same writer. On this particular day, our subject has ingested quite a few doses of ephedrine in excess of the prescribed doses. He has been addicted to this drug/herb for the past twenty-two years.

He is also a heavy coffee drinker. (This particular information is gleaned from personal observation, not just from the writing.)
Looking at the sample from a gestault point of view, the nervous tension is very evident. The flow of the writing is hesitant, uncertain.

The slant is variable in many places, pulling back in the letter formations. Many of his letter formations exhibit a shakiness. One of the side effects of ephedrine, compounded by excessive caffeine intake, is irritability.

Besides the gestault overview we have already discussed, irritability is further comfirmed through individual strokes, like the slashed i-dots. Consider, too, the fact that this is a person with intense emotion as seen in the heaviness of the writing. The fact that he doesn't forget emtional experiences easily is further supported by the resentment stokes found in the words "it was" on the third line.

The past is very important to this person as seen in the long lead-in strokes. He is unable to move forward without the support of his family or friends. He lacks maturity. By viewing some of the traits present in this handwriting sample, it seems apparent this individual will not likely ever seek professional help to overcome his addiction.

* Would he be able to overcome his addiction of his own ability?

* What are some of the roadblocks we see that would prevent or significantly hinder his recovery?

Procrastination, as evidenced by the t-bars that do not, or barely, cross the t-stem (hovering on the left side) would be a strong indication of failure. He doesn't have enough momentum to even get started on a program; and if he did get started, he would probably abandon it if it required any actual effort on his part. This is supported by his shallow cup-like t-bars.

Self-castigation strokes are found in the word, "conversation" on line five and in the word, "caused" on line thirteen. We have a fellow who enters into the realm of martyrdom. He will take the blame for things that go wrong. The strokes that show this self-punishment/martyrdom syndrome, are in several of his t-bars, which are crossed from right to left and several end in a sharp point. Add vanity to this, and we see someone who is overly concerned about himself. He creates a nightmare for himself by first criticizing and then attempting to build himself up in his own eyes.

He is in strong need of positive validation of his worth. His self-concept is low, as indicated by the low-crossing t-bars. In summary, this person is his own worst enemy, creating a nightmare rollercoaster of self-loathing and the need to preserve the ego.

Again, the question arises: Will he seek the professional help he so desparately needs?

Let's take a look at his lower zone. Since many of his loops do not return to the baseline, we understand that he has a fear of success. When combined with his tendency toward martyrdom and lack of will power, it is apparent it would take something very extreme in his life to make any real lasting changes.

We know he isn't happy with the way things are. We can see depression throughout the writing as indicated by the dropped-down ending letters and words that point downward.

In summary, this person requires professional help to overcome his addiction. When interviewed, he has attempted to quit on his own but has been unable. He has been using OTC's so long that the feelings he derives from their use is normal to him. He does not feel normal in a more sedate environment and becomes highly agitated when deprived. This is a normal reaction. But instead of riding it out towards better health and well-being, he succumbs and returns to the rollercoaster of abuse.
