Why do doctors tell us things are not addictive but then you read online that everyone is struggling with being addicted to them? I was prescribed Rozerem and given the generic. I'm terrified to take it. It is to help me sleep but is also a anti-depressant. I just don't understand. The pharmacist even said it is not addictive.

Just go read all the comments of people that have taken the drug. That is all I'm going to say. It is not the fine print but the life print that matters to me.
