Addiction to benzod: or other drugs can occur with both short term and long term use and is dependent on multiple factors. Seek counseling or help if you suspect any form of dependency or craving or increased need.

It is important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If you are not confident in your Dr. see another for a 2nd opinion. Medications are not sufficient since they do not teach you coping. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help your medications to work better.
