Possible Drug Addiction?

Question by S. Nicole: Possible drug addiction?
I take a medicine for my anxiety as needed and I literally rely on it. It makes me tired so it’s good for making me sleep and making me just chill. I’d take it everyday if I could. Is it an addiction?

Best answer:

No.
If its a benzodiazepine and you do take it everyday over a long period of time you will become dependent on it and suffer from withdrawal symptoms if abruptly discontinued
