Are the symptoms to being addicted to sleeping pills:

  1. you can’t, no matter how tired you are, sleep without taking one?

  2. you notice that it takes longer and longer for the pill to take effect?

  3. you start “like” (for the want of a better word) the little “buzz” that you feel when it takes effect?

  4. one, some, or none of these?

Dear Maryann,
you may, or may not have a problem. There are many forms of addiction. The best thing to do is dicuss it with your Dr.

Docs are very well informed on this subject and will not let you down.

Some of the things listed may signal some sort of addiction, but none of them in and of themselves will ‘raise a red flag’.
