Addiction to cold me: It is difficult to answer your question without knowing what cold medicine you think you are addicted to and what you call addiction.Sometime people confuse dependence on a medicine as addiction.Only over the counter medicines you can get addicted are dexomethorphan which is really a cough ingridient in some cold meds, other comes to my mind is psedoephedrine, some anti histamines can cause dependan.
