"What had happened to my baby brother? How did a tiny little pill
shatter our family? When did we first begin losing Pat?" These are
the harrowing questions that plagued Erin Marie Daly after her
youngest brother Pat, an OxyContin addict, was found dead of a
heroin overdose at the age of twenty. In just a few short years,
the powerful prescription painkiller had transformed him from a
fun-loving ball of energy to a heroin addict hell-bent on getting
his next fix. Yet even as Pat's addiction destroyed his external
life, his internal struggle with opiates was far more heart
wrenching. Erin set out on a painful personal journey, turning a
journalistic eye on her brother's addiction; in the process, she
was startled to discover a new twist to the ongoing prescription
drug epidemic. That kids are hooked on prescription drugs is
nothing new; what is new is how a generation of young people
playing around with today's increasingly powerful opioids are
finding themselves in the frightening grip of heroin.
"Generation Rx" offers an entirely new look at what the
prescription pill epidemic means for today's youth, and the world
around them.
