Hi Hopeful,
I guess I would say I feel like I do have some of the criteria for addiction as far as my antidepressants go. When I have tried to stop them, I have gone through withdrawal. At some point I usually have to push up the dose as a tolerance develops to them and the current dosage doesn't seem to be doing it anymore. I do feel I am psychologically dependent on them.
I guess This is why I feel to some degree they are addictive.
