My life changed in 2010. I lost my first born son, Jarrod at the young age of 19. He overdosed on a cocktail of RX drugs prescribed by the doctor I took him to for help off his addiction to weed and and opiate called, " Opana" which a dirty doctor in Rowland Heights was OVERprescribing to his friends and possibly Jarrod himself. My other son was 15 at the time. He lost his best friend and only sibling. We also lost 3 of his close friends in that same year and many more!! I soon became an advocate because these deaths are preventable!!
Jodi Barber and Sylvia Melkonian are two mothers who lost their sons to prescription pill overdoses. HLN’s Dr. Drew sends a message for people trying to recover from addiction after hearing their heart-breaking stories. SoCal doctor charged in Rx overdose deaths on Dr. Drew Show
