this is a really interesting thread...i'd say i have an addictive personality also (a side note... could or is OCD classified as an addiction?), and i have always been facinated by how my body reacts to certain drugs. it just doesn't seem to have any concept of how it is supposed to react and to what doses. a few years ago i was taking prozac and had my blood levels assessed, the results were along the lines of i had only half the amount in my blood as would have been expected by the dose i was on.
i'd thought that i may have trained my body in a way, as years ago i developed a nasty addiction (o, that again) to laxatives (in a futile effort of becoming a bulimic), and i'd take horribly large amounts (in the 30-90 pills a shot range). it probably only makes sense in conception (not in application), but i figured that maybe my body caught on, and figured some quick ways to work around medications which it began applying to my ADs.i wonder if there are any studies which link tollerance to certain drugs to different personality traits?
