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.
With AD's people talk about withdrwal and addiction. But really i dont think its the same.
If i stop taking Effexor tommorow, I will go through some serious pain. But it is not cause of addiction. I dont mentally crave it for a high. My body is acostumed to it and when i take it away it resonds to it.Addiction is more mentally craving. Addiction to ciggarettes, even after the physical cravings go away, you still desire it..
Ahhhh.. I have to sleep.. its like 5am now.
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.ok i gotta sleep now 5am, gotta be up in 3 hours.
Im so messed up
Take Care,
Adam
