>Oh, I thought your responses were pretty modest/cautious, although sure, some of your options (eg. Ritalin and Parnate) can be addictive to some people. Indeed, even quetiapine has been linked to drug-seeking behaviour.

>I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Even using drugs recreationally does not necessarily imply addiction.
> I took regular meds for close to 20 years (basically a zombie). I started using 'riskier' (potentially addictive) combinations in the past 2-3. For me, it got to the point of getting something to feel better NOW, or death.
>I've been through that phase. I took stimulants to ward off suicidal ideation. Now, I'm in a better condition, and I rarely even long for stimulants most of the time.
