Sorry to disagree Phillipa, but the evidence doesnt back you up. Virtualy all heroin addicts also abuse benzodiazepines, almost none would abuse SSRI's

While antidepressant withdrawl might be uncomfortable, benzo withdrawl can kill you.

Also, I've never heard of anybody thinking to them self "damn, I'm having a rough day, I think I need another Zoloft" but thats pretty common in long term benzo users, having another pill just to get them through the day.

AD's can cause wityhdrawl symptoms if stopped cold turkey, in the same way steroids can, but they arnt cnsidered addictive in the traditional sense.
