Is it against the law to not take a prescription from a doctor?

In: Medication and Drugs [Edit categories]

Answer:

I was told while in the hospital that I don't have to take anything that I don't want to. Sometimes you may be asked to sign a release stating that you have decided to not take something that a doctor has said that he feels you need to take-that way if something happens to you for not taking the meds, then the doctor won't be held liable. Does that make sense? Anyway I would ask a health care professional just to be on the safe side, but unless you're not of sane mind, no one should be able to make you take anything into your body that you don't want to!
