That is so not true.
I have a friend who is epileptic and uses it to control anxiety, which can lead to a seizure...
I know a few people who ARE definitely addicted. One is taking 3 different ones/day. and even more that I know simply “cannot live without them.” And, for the few that really could be helped, there are thousands who have never been taught to deal with life and think everything in life should come wrapped in neat packages and be under control at all times.
