Re: define chemically dependent

I wouldn't think so. Since you say USED to take, that would indicate to me that you do not take those meds any longer, so you are not currently dependant upon them. Additionally, if you suffered no ill effects upon stopping the meds, then you were never chemically dependant. BTW, how would they even know, medical records are protected by the HIPPA law, so they cannot be released. That statement, however, comes with all the usual disclaimers...IANAL etc.
