Im becoming addicted to anxiety meds/anti-depressants. help?

Addiction to anxiety: Meds is possible. Addiction to antidepressants is unlikely. Medication alone is not the answer for either problem. Find a mental health professional who treats anxiety, depression and addiction. The most effective treatment is cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Seek help now: Addiction only gets worse without help, never better. Seek a treatment program in your area, also see if there are meetings of pills anonymous nearby. If not, go to na or even aa (others will related to you and be able to help support you).
