I was prompted to make this post for two reasons:
1)I really believe most people (especially on PC) can be legitimately helped by the judicious use of meds but the exaggerated fear of addiction promulgated by ......the media or whatever....is hindering that progress unneccessarily
2)I also really don't believe the often mentioned meds are "addictive".....they may be slightly habit forming but true addiction is much too harsh (and scary) a word
3)I've taken a number of the "suspect" meds for years .....off and on....with no ill effects
