(((MrsScarlet)) - Welcome to SR! I can't tell you whether you are addicted or not, but I do know that when I used drugs that I really didn't need? There's a problem.
You don't have to answer "am I an addict" right now, but you may want to think about taking a potent medicine when you really don't need it.
I hope you read around on other posts, as you will find you're not alone.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
