There is a lot of confusion surrounding ADs because they can have a "discontinuation syndrome" when trying to come off.  Many people call that "withdrawal",  therefore people assume it is "addictive".  Certainly the body gets used to having it on board, but it is different than an opiate.

It helps get the Serotonin circulating so you are not so depressed. Serotonin is what I call the "Happy" transmitter.
