I think we all need to step back a minute. It's unfair to say that nobody on this board is addicted to thier meds. It is also unfair to say that everyone could be.
The bottom line is we all work our own program and from what I can see, this is a means for us to look at our meds, think about what is best, consider each other's input, and make our own choices. I think posting about addiction is a relavant topic. It happens. Its a reality of the world where general practitioners are allowed to prescribe psych drugs.
There are also alot of addictions. My husband is addicted to coca-cola. If I were, that would affect my meds. My sister abuses grapefruit juice (she swears it makes her lose weight and will drink it until her lips and throat are raw) and that too would affect some meds. I used to smoke. We all know that affects our lives and the lives of those around us.
The bottom line is, we are all different and we need to broaden our horizons. If any one post here helps someone, its a good post.
