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 the rising number of young
heroin addicts whose addiction began with pills in suburban
bedrooms, and how a generation of young people playing around with
today's increasingly powerful opiods are finding themselves in the
frightening grip of heroin. While many books a have tackled the
topic of Big Pharma, drug addiction, and our increasingly
over-medicated society, Generation Rx offers an entirely new look
at what the prescription pill epidemic means for today's youth and
the world around them.
