[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 396788"] In general I believe both the anti anxiety medications and the pain medications tend to be addictive and so recovering addicts have to be very very careful if they need to take them. Anti depressants in general are not addictive and so are not as much of a worry, although I am sure a desperate addict might use anything. I have a friend who is a recovering heroin addict. She has been clean for 5 years. There have been a couple of episodes where she has been prescribed pain medications for medical reasons and her couple of slips have been to take way too much of them. It is very tempting for her. Luckily she is determined enough that she does not slip for long but that temptation is there and continues to be. [/QUOTE]
