My doc described it as "physical addiction" where the body stops producing the necessary effect itself, because the meds so it, and one then has to be weaned off them gradually so that the body can re-learn what it is supposed to be doing.<BR/>Either way, I'm doing better now.choirgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298814601047612467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771456.post-1145442266871302322006-04-19T05:24:00.000-05:002006-04-19T05:24:00.000-05:00Are you sure those were anti-depressants and not a...Are you sure those were anti-depressants and not anti-anxiety? Anti-depressants aren't normally addictive unless the patient becomes "mentally" addicted to them. So since it might not be a physical addiction, you have to just keep telling yourself it's just in your head. If it is anti-anxiety medication then you may very well be going through withdrawals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
