Are you an addict? Only you can really answer that question. Being an addict really has nothing to do with how much or what...its more about why. Are you physically dependent on loratabs? Possibly. You could be experiencing mild withdrawals. Yes a 1/4 pill is not much, but everybody is different and over extended periods I dont see why someone couldnt develop a mild physical dependence to it. Any amount will interact with and alter your brain chemistry, afterall. Anyways maybe you should talk to a doctor about this. Good luck whatever you do.
