A member asked:
Please tell me how long it takes for to come off an addiction to prescribed drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: Any prescribed drug that could potentially cause an addiction, like a sedative, a stimulant or a narcotic, as examples, will have a different half-life and impact on the receptors in the body that are altered by chronic use. So the time to completely recover after abstinence depends on the drug but also on your specific risk of addiction as well.
