The def of addiction/dependence sounds like meds

Posted by leo33 on October 14, 2011, at 20:26:13

I know mental health hates cannabis and all addictive drugs but the definition of dependence sounds exactly what I have seen and experienced on Psych Meds so does anyone believe AD's and AP's are addictive. Why not use what works?
Cannabis dependence is more exactly defined and includes 1) developing tolerance so that over time more drug is needed to get the same effect; 2) withdrawal symptoms occur when the drug is discontinued (this has been demonstrated to occur with marijuana when used heavily); 3) using more or for longer periods than intended; 4) unsuccessful attempts to cut down on use; 5) a pattern of life centered around obtaining and using the drug; 6) the abandonment of important occupational or social facets of life to use the drug; and 7) continued use despite knowledge of significant problems caused by the drug.
