There is no real way to tell if someone is going to be an addict. Some times heredity plays a part, if you have an addict in your family then chances are some one else may become one as well. People who experience depression, anxiety and loneliness are said to be people at risk to be addicted to some drug or another. That is not to say that everyone who has taken pain medication has become addicted because that would not be true. The important part of medication is to take exactly what the doctor prescribed to you, not a pill more and not a pill less.

Then you have the topical corticosteroids such as creams like Cortaid and Cortisone.
