In reply to Addictive Personality/Effectiveness of Meds?, posted by Greg on May 19, 2000, at 8:09:12
I like so many others here also have a very addictive personality. It did start mostly to be noticed with alcohol. I wouldn't try street drugs because I knew how easily I became addicted to alcohol.
I also became obsessed with thoughts at times that were very frightening. The one med that has worked wonders for me is Zyprexa. It has really cleared up the obsessions (which I guess are a little different than the addictions but it may be worth a discussion with your doc.)
Zyprexa is listed as an anti-psychotic and if you look through the archives here there have been several threads about it.
