			== Why are the most addictive drug are placed on Schedule IV? ==

			Out off all psychiatric medications, Benzodiazepines and some barbiturates are the most addictive and develop a very high dependence potential when prescribed. However, some non-addictive medications such as Methylphenidate or Ketamine are placed on Schedule II and III. According to citations from the drug articles, some medications such as the ones placed on Scheduled II and III do not produce an addictive potential in low doses when prescribed.

			Usually, addictive medications are strictly controlled than those of Schedule IV. I am very confused.

Article improvements and tag removal

I made what I hope is perceived as improvements and will go back over the article shortly. I added links and reviewed the neutrality as per the tag as well as removing the NPOV and Refimprove tags. Anyone that would like to review the article can let me know about any specific neutrality problems and I will address them. Otr500 (talk)
