Can sleeping pills become addictive?
All sleeping pills can be psychologically addictive. That means your mind thinks you can’t sleep without them. Most are also physically addictive (your body may go though a physcial withdrawl when the drug is removed) but there are some new ones that claim they aren’t. BTW I became psychologically addicted to benadryl. That shows that you can be psychologically addicted to anything.
I believe I have an addiction to sleeping pills. I use several different brands of OTC sleeping pills and take about 7 to 15 every night. I’ll do whatever I have to so I can get them. I haven’t told my treatment team about this yet. I did tell them I was planning to commit suicide. I don’t know if I should re-think this and try to get help for my addiction, or just give up and kill myself.
