Hubby is hooked on OTC sleep meds is that possible?

[Missy31]

My husband has ( I think) developed an addiction to sleep meds like tylenol PM, any kind over OTC sleep aid, the thing is he takes them but doesn't sleep. He made the comment to a friend of mine that if you take sleeping pills and stay awake they make you high. Has anyone ever heard of this? Can you become addicted to sleep meds that are OTC? HELP oh and by the way I'm doing just great!!! Thanks

I think you can become addicted to anything. Addiction is not just "what you take" but the behavior of taking something and becoming dependent on it...
