I also take meds for a thyroid problem that I must take everyday or I will feel off. Am I addicted to that too? Heck no.

Thank God we have medications to help our mental health issues! And threre is nothing to fear taking them if prescribed by a doctor. It is quality of life.
there's nothing wrong with taking medication and i understand it helps you and many others out, but it just isn't for me. i had a very bad mental reaction when i first started taking lexapro prescribed by my doctor that landed me in the hospital for panic and it's left me feeling very off ever since as well as very paranoid about taking medication
im sorry for offending you
