(during a concert in Brisbane, Australia 2005) It`s been 26 years since I was last here. Before my fans were all taking drugs; this time they`re all taking medication!
- Bette MidlerIt was for one of his last Christmas specials. I remember I went to his hotel room to rehearse with him, and he was zoned out on medication or something, and I`m thinking, How is this going to happen?
- Macaulay CulkinHe does all research now, but he put me on some medication, Zoloft, and, I tell you what, a lot of people have had pros and cons about it, but it was my wonder drug.
- Tanya TuckerBut the main thing is that medication, too, is not all the help.
- Tanya TuckerI ask myself: Would I have been any worse off if I had stayed home or lived on a farm instead of shock treatments and medication?
- Gene TierneyI was buying medication for a very dear friend of mine.
- Mindy McCreadyI don`t have to take insulin because I have been able to make these changes and take this medication.
- Della ReeseMy doctor explained that exercise and diet changes might help and that I also might need a medication.
- Della ReeseI recently have had a full hip replacement and a liver transplant, and I`m getting used to the medication.
- Evel KnievelShe`s obviously sort of volatile ... big ups and downs are not completely foreign to her and obviously, too, she`s on medication and once she took that medication, that affected her greatly.
- Jean SmartAs soon as we find a cure, we will utilize any of the donations to go toward providing medication to those who can`t afford it. That is my goal.
- Montel WilliamsWe`re talking about patients who are for the most part 65 years of age or older. Eighty-two percent of Medicare patients who want the medication have co-morbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesteremia and prostate disease.
- Michael KaplanI think sometimes it makes you sicker than what you really are to take so much medication.
- Dorothy MoorePsychiatrists always say, Oh, we`re very professional. I use exercise as my medication.
- Trisha GoddardI`ve got asthma. When I was 17 I forgot to take my medication and was taken to a hospital for almost two weeks. After that I`ve taken better care of my illness.
- Ville ValoIf you start using a medication in a person with autism, you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement, they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple.
- Temple GrandinAnd while we are on the subject of medication you always need to look at risk versus benefit.
- Temple GrandinThe medication actually helps the person to talk. It`s not necessarily that the person`s situation is worse or better.
- Jason YoungThe other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind, so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication.
- Alan PardeeI think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don`t do only that. You also need to train your mind.

- Allan BristowThe World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.
- Amy CollinsI do not believe that any mental illness exists other than demons, and no medication can straighten it out, other than the power of God.
- Angela ReichertI was under medication. And my memory, it wasn`t clear like it is now, today.
- Ann WykellParents should never have to choose between their child`s health and safety and their ability to receive an education, ... The Child Medication Safety Act will help restore the right of parents to make decisions in the best interest of their children.
- Art StovallI ran out of medication, and I couldn`t see my doctor.
- Arthur William Edgar O'ShaughnessyThis type of information is a reaffirmation of previous data, which shows that there are clearly gender-specific responses to therapy. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to medicine, and the data here shows that men and women clearly react differently to a very simple and commonly used medication - aspirin.
- Atsushi OsaWhen confronted with the need to take a particular medicine, it is certainly worth asking what data are available that justify its use in a particular patient. Much more tailored approaches to medication usage need to happen in the future. This should allow for optimal benefit with minimal risk.
- Atsushi OsaHealthcare professionals, including pharmacists and PBMs, can play an important role in encouraging medication compliance. Drugs have become increasingly complex and people are being prescribed more of them, which places greater demands on healthcare providers to educate patients and take proactive measures to ensure proper medication use.
- B. J. WieWe are part of the medical community - we are very aware that people need this medication. But we`re also a business. We can`t let thousands and thousands of dollars in medicine go out the door and not know when - or even if - we`re going to be paid for it.
- Barnett CocksIt is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.
- Thomas Sowell
