Thanks Anna. I never rec'd any anti-dep that helped. I believe I do have a level of depression. I only know when I took the Tylenol 3 I had a sense of "well being". That's it..no "high", no "low"..I still could think, focus, sleep, pray, meditate..work. so to me its a miracle drug. I guess that is what would make it addictive. It works. So you want to take more.

But I think it also applies to anit-depressants. I read the boards on those too..people switch all the time when they get to the point "no more effective"...they do come with withdrawals...I have read some pretty scary ones.

Neither pain meds or anit-depressants are "innocents" to addiction and withdrawals.
