Opiates can kill if used wrong. And yes they are used recreational, the big problem occur when they are not used as prescribed.

SSRI apparently has a withdrawal problem even with proper usage

But SSRI's don't have as much of an abuse problem - there's not immediate feedback that makes you want to take more SSRI's - at best you feel "normal" and "numb in a different way" with a side order of sexual dysfunction. Nobody is going to street vendors for that.

Opiates have a withdrawal problem with proper usage (as a long term user of prescribed opiates, I am frequently warned of this).
