Hi all,

I was surfing the net on the co-relation of addiction with prescription drug and I think this website is pretty reliable with a lot of experts in the different fields.

My profile is as follows :

Okay lets start with where I come from. I am from Singapore and a fully qualified yoga teacher who has been practising since 1997.

The common question that people will ask I become a yoga teacher. The answer is very simple -- I was suffering from stress related panic attacks in my last year in college and was prescribed valium that the GP considered it as trivial.

However, I find that the pills made me feel like a zombie after taking them and I did not know whether I was asleep. In the end , I sought for my own solution. I took up meditation to help me change my mindset and from there everything just flows.

I have studied with various Yoga Masters over the world and is willing to provide any information regarding drug abuse in relation to addiction.

In 2001: I had 2nd degree in Australia and studied the hypnotic effects of the various narcotics and how harmful they can be when consumed even for the first time.

As a Yoga teacher till now , I always believe that the first course of action for doctors should not prescribe drugs freely or at least they should monitor the patients and suggest alternative therapies instead of just giving them out like candies. Its sad to see one the drugs that one lady is taking stilnox and totally to get by day by day. Hopefully, she is alright and this is the reason why I am in the forum now.

I am certified in Yoga therapy from India and Beginners' and Intermediate Yoga Instructors' training course in Singapore by the California Fitness Centers.

I do hope that I will be able to help people here in the forum.

Blessings to all,
Merlinda
