Yes, it is possible for humans to become addicted to almost anything.
Could you elaborate a bit more on why you feel that you're suffering from addiction, and to another human being?
Umm......I can't really describe it.
A while back, when I was on Strattera, I used to worry a lot. When my husband was at work I used to sit their and constantly obsess over what I would ever do if he died. That was the main thing that I was most afraid of in the world. Not what if I died, or if my parents died, but what would happen if my husband died...and I just sat there obsessing and worrying about it all the time...all day.
I am uncomfortable going anywhere without my husband, I feel vunerable. I like to be with him when I go out places. I have been known to wait to clean the house until my husband got back from work so we could do it together, or to avoid going to parties if my husband would not be able to go....
maybe this all has to do with social anxiety disorder, also. It is very extremely difficult for me to make new friends...I can't figure out for the life of me, how I ended up with such and wonderful, social, and bubbly person, who takes such very good care of me and who loves me as deeply and thoroughly as he does. If something happens to him, I don't know what I would do, my life would be meaningless....
It was other things too, but I kinda got over them...You know? It seems to feel like these feelings kinda went away once I stopped taking the Strattera...maybe the strattera had something to do with this....
I feel strange for divulging this informaion...

It is not strange at all... if you have the right amount of the hormones that the Strattera block the reuptake of, you will get those symptoms.
Strattera blocks the reuptake of those hormones that are released into our bloodstream when we are in danger, and need extra energy and paranoia to survive...
Just don't take Strattera anymore... if you still lack concentration and attention skills, get a Stimulant that is designed for ADHD... not an anti-depressiv medication...
