Question: Would anti depressants ever be prescribed to an addict!?
Or any kind of drug used for chemical imbalances!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Very frequently antidepressants are given to addicts, quite simply the drugs can't be abused!. You can't get high off them, they're not pleasurable, they've got the abuse potential of tylenol!. Also, depending on the substance abused, many addicts injure parts of their brain and require treatment for depression!.

There are certain other drugs used in psychiatry, such as Valium(benzodiazepine tranquilizers), and Adderall(amphetamine like stimulants) which should absolutely -never- be given to addicts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah they would!.

Pills are one solultion but talking about thigns is another option!. You can ask for a referal by your GP and if you want there is a good chatroom at http://forums!.talkcity!.com/tc-depression!.!.!. that allows you to chat with others who are going through depression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes - they can be prescribed!. however, i you are an addict your doctor may only give you a few days supply at a time so you are not tempted by having a months worth of tablets with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no it is still a drug that people cant get addicted to i have seen people addicted to that stuff they still have to go to a health clinic they will still have a bad effect on people all drugs doWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, non-addictive ones are prescribed quite often!. Antidepressants are non-addictive, so you shouldn't have a problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course: anti-depressants are often used to TREAT addicts!. Outside of the benzos (such as xanax), most of them aren't habit-forming in the least, so there is no risk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course, anti-depressants as a rule are not addictive and contain no opiates!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
