@kittyjohnson1964 I’m moved by your message because this topic of fear of addiction comes up often. First, it’s good you were able to find the neurologist who understands your needs. Second, the way I see it is that if your body requires a medicine to function properly it’s not addiction in the sense of wanting more and more. We don’t say a diabetic is addicted to insulin. There’s a stigma around needing medication to function but that’s just the reality of certain physical and mental conditions. I’m glad you are getting back to better health.
