> tO ME addiction is how i felt when I was hooked on ativan. It made me feel good. and happy. But it wasn;t real. It was the drug. I craved it Mentally and physically. I needed it.
---I think you are quite correct these statements.
I think crave and complusion for use is a real key, not withdrawal sysmptoms, but folks do tend to equate withdrawal with addiction, which I think is quite incorrect.
> Anyhoo Addiction to antidepressants I think is the wrong term I dont crave my effexor, i dont even want to take it.It doesnt give me a high. Addiction to benzos on the other hand is very real.---I do think addiction to benzo's are very real, but I don't think it happens to everyone.
Thank you for your post.
