Habit forming symptoms and conditions

I took xanax for a while.. Dr's forgot to tell me though that it is very habit forming... and going off of it suddenly can be very dangerous.. can cause seizures.. terrible terrible side effects when missing doses

I have not yet started to take Effexor yet, just trying to see if I can find some reason to take it first.
I have read a lot of these side effects and I have had all of these side effect like symptoms and have never even take this drug.
I have taken Wellbrutrin, Lexapro, Zoloft, and Paxil and all of them cause bad panic attacks. I am not sure what to do about anything. I have also tried a natural pill called Seredyn and it works pretty good at night to sleep but causes me to feel uneasy during the day and obviously it would be needed during the day.
The ONLY thing that helps is Ativan and according to doctors and pharmacists it is very habit forming. So I cannot get anymore of those.
Has anyone taken anything for Anxiety that helps?
I am not a depressed person and do not need anything for depression.

I have just started taking ultracet today. I was prescribed 2 tabs 4x's a day. I have taken 4 tabs so far. The pain is better but the pharmicist told me and my partner to watch out for psychotic episodes since I am taking 20 mg of Paxil a day. SCARY!!! So far just stomach upset. But not intolerable. NO PAIN!! I have suffered from chronic pain for 3 years after I tore my scapula away from the muscle and ligaments. I do feel a little wired. I was also told it was non habit forming. I have taken morphine and loritab but cannot handle the withdrawl. I think 8 tabs a day is a lot. Let you know as the days progress. Especially about the psychosis. My Dr. was informed about the Paxil and said it should not become a problem. We will see.

Night eatting (without remebering), memory loss, strange dreams and it IS habit forming. Please, Please don't ever even start taking it!

i took ambien for 7 years at the advice of my doctor for menopausal sleeplessness. i came off it with great difficulty in may. i had terrible headaches, acid reflux and allergy type symptoms as well as the brain fog. i still have trouble sleeping but generally feel so much better off it--it is habit forming.

I have panic attacks and irritable bowel. Ativan has been a life saver for me. It not only relaxes my stomach muscles so I can eat, it calms me also. One must be careful when taking ativan. It has been documented to be habit forming.

I recently tore my ACL and my MCL in my knee, as well as having suffered some nerve and cartlisge damage. they prescribed me ULTRACET. I have found its side effects to be quite a problem, and it seems to already be habit forming. But it does make the pain go away. WHile on it i am experianceing VErtigo, Confusion, and Euphoria.... I was once addicted to sleeping meidcation and i beleive that this is triggering another addiction... in short, do not take if you have an addictive personality, but it is good for severe pain

I've been taking Ultracet for over SIX months, usually twice daily and sometimes 3 times a day. I herniated a disk a couple years ago and I've had two back surgery since then and have taken every type of prescription drug available, Perocet, Oxycodone and now Ultracet. Ultracet does help with the pain, but it's side effect are just as much of an issue as the scatic nerve and back pain. My main issue is dizziness or being woosey on a daily basis and I do get an upset stomach on occasion. I only drive short distances because of the dizziness and probably shouldn't drive at all. What concerns me is the length of time I've been taking Ultacet. I do believe Ultracet is habit forming or additive no matter what anyone else may say. I need to get off this drug, soon.

I have an addiction history and at this time am in recovery. Since taking this medication I have felt some drowsiness. Is this medication habit forming?

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT THE PILL IS HABIT FORMING. IS THIS A PROBLEM? CAN THIS PILL BE TAKEN FOR YEARS WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY? I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NOSE DISCOMFORT. I FEEL LIKE I AM COMING DOWN WITH A COLD ALL THE TIME. WOULD APPRECIATE SOME RESPONCE. THANKS

Experienced the side effect of llightheadedness, dizzy, fuzz like not all there when out. Xanax is the best drug for me for panic and anxiety attacks but doctors don't like to give it, it can be habit forming. 1/4 of a mg twice a day works for me, so why should I take Paxil or Prozac, Prozac had the same side effect as Paxillll, those mind altering drugs are drugs are just what the are called. Mind altering, lost sex drive, gained weight. Having problem with rapid pulse, have been off for 6 months now, will never go back. I have friends that use Prozac or Paxil and swear by them. These drugs are just what they are called drugs.
