same thing with Ativan. It's addictive and you can take it just when you need it. I think its a benzodiazapine as well. I took .5mg twice a day for about 2 months until it just stopped working. After that I just quit taking it. I have never been addicted to any drug. I have only had withdrawl once and that was Effexor the drug from you know where....That was horrid..I won't do that one again. I guess that means I was addicted. I am not sure. I certainly didn't WANT to take it. It started giving me a constant headache so I had to wean myself off of it. But half a capsule wasn't good enough so I had to break it into like a 4th. It was driving me crazy! I ended up almost having a nervous breakdown because of my headache not going away so I stopped the Effexor cold turkey and took and Ativan. Well...I found out much later that Ativan is also used to combat withdrawl symptoms. I was taking it to combat the nervous breakdown. I guess being a redhead I am just not affected like other people...oh well..
