    It depends on how you define addiction.

    They create physical withdrawal. But they’re not habit-forming as they have no direct action on dopamine.

    So… as physically addictive as coffee and less psychologically addictive than television.

    Anyway, they’re easy to get off of if you switch to one with a long half life (prozac) and taper from there. Easier to give up than caffeine. Or TV.
