Terms such as "accidental addict" do not serve us well. It's not a case of "whoops! my doctor prescribed me this medication and now I use it compulsively to zone out or get high." It's a case of "whoops! my doctor is in bed with the powerful and preadatory pharmaceutical companies and now they both are making big money by causing millions of us to become dependent upon brain damaging drugs thereby ensuring we will always be in their 'care.'"
See? It ain't addiction, and it for sure is NOT accidental.
Ah! Thanks for linking to this, Jadon. I just gotta state on yer site here that this is about benzodiazepines. So much different than other prescription drugs that can become problematic for patients.
