Linda- some drugs make people addicted. It's often not a matter of control, it's a matter of the drug taking control. Thinking that someone can't control themselves is a judgement call. It's just not fair to classify everyone like that.
I have chosen to take antidepressants for the rest of my life. I know that my mind and body have adapted to them so much that if I quit I'll go into withdrawal.
Does that make me an addict?

@babette I know there are those who just are addicts ,once when I was working I had an addict pin me to the wall he had his hands around my throat thank goodness this was a room where the other men came to my rescue then called the other nurses . So I know there are addicts what I was saying if you know a med is affecting you that you cant life without it and want to stop it can happen with help from your Dr or other sources .
