In reply to Ambien is schedule V, it can be addictive. (nm), posted by stjames on December 13, 2003, at 21:20:26
I will soon post studies showing it is not. Even same dose can work for months. What do you mean by addictive anyway? That people crave it? or have to use it, otherwise they get anxious/paranoid like with long-term use of benzos?
Also - the thing that Ambien is Sch.V doesn't mean anything. Marijuana is Sch.I and it's not addictive physically at all. Ultram is not Sch. but has high potential for a person to get addicted to it (I've seen reports of long-term users who abrubtly stopped Ultram and experienced Effexor-type withdrawals. Actually no wonder, since venlafaxine and tramadol are VERY similar substances).
