[Wonderland.]

I dont know what it is but i think you can be addicted to anything. Have you told anyone about this? X

Very possibly. The first aid advisors would know more.

Hi i have private messaged you.

i have had problems with taking large amounts of Piriton [in tablet form] daily along with some other antihistamines.This has got me into debt and has also had very serious effects on my health so yes i should imagine the syrup version of Piriton could well be addictive.And without at all meaning to tell you what to do i would say please try and get help as soon as you can if you are able.Hopefully that will stop you ending up too much like me!!

Take care

From Wiki:

"Chlorphenamine has antidepressant properties, inhibiting reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin."

So doesn't affect the dopamine pathway, making addiction less likely, but I suppose anything that has the potential of making you feel emotionally stronger than when you're not using it has a chance of building you a bit of a habit.

Why do you think you're addicted?
