Some prescription and over the counter medications, particularly ones containing opiates like codeine and muscle relaxants like Valium/rivotril can be extremely addictive even if used as directed. The brain forms a chemical addiction to the drug after even a short period of sustained use, regardless of whether the user has ingested recommended dosage or exceeded it.
The drugs can also form a psychological dependence in the user if the user habitually uses such medications to cope with various disorders for which the drug is designed to aid. For example, many people become addicted to codeine based painkillers while using them as sleep aids/calmatives.
