I’m doing a project for psychology and I need to know what kind of medication that can be physically addictive that is over the counter and needs no doctor’s prescription.
Please and thank you =D

Answer by Nate
None that I know of. Addictive medications that I am familiar with are controlled drugs and require a prescription.

There are a few I think people say they are addicted too, like anti-histamines, but I don’t think they are actually physically addictive.

Question by Judy37601: What is the BEST over the counter sinus congestion medication? I need to get off of nose spray.?
I have been addicted to nose spray before & I’ve always had to suffer, for days, to get off of it. With no sleep, dry mouth, clogged nostrils & pure misery + pain. My sinuses have started stuffing up again & with my work, I can’t be miserable, so I used a little nose spray. Which went to a little more, so I’m addicted again. If I dont use it, I can’t breath at all. I can’t go off it cold turkey, like I’ve done before. With my job, I can’t afford to be that miserable. What is the BEST brand of over the counter sinus decongestant? Something that ACTUALLY works? Any other suggestions, to come off of the nose spray w/out misery, will be appreciated. Thanks!    Read more...
