I was trying to make two different points and as a result failed to make either.
One is that many people become addicted to prescribed medication.
Two is that many people in my experience fall into addiction problems after starting anti-depressants. That's probably because, as MP said, substance abuse problems are commonly linked to depression. I do think anti-depressants carry some risk of psychological dependency, but if users find that these pills either fail to help their depression problems entirely or become less effective over time, they are often inclined to turn to other drugs that more effectively numb or mask the unpleasant feelings, perhaps more so than someone who is not on any medication.
I had other reasons that triggered the bad anxiety coming back though, so don't think that that will necessarily happen to you.
