My guess is that they're referring to the part where you can't just stop taking them cold turkey without a spectrum of bad things happening to you. It's a slow slow taper process.

That's not addicting. And kinda makes sense to tapper off (with many types of drugs).

No, I agree. I think "physical dependence" would be a much better word. People don't keep taking Zoloft because they want the next hit.

Funny you say this, because I moved, I've been out of my SNRI, and only took two in the last seven days. Last night I felt like a drug addict, I need to take it or I'll have withdrawals.

The sucky part is the withdrawals won't go away for several days at least....

If it's an instant-release, you can lower the dose little by little.

I mean more so that now that I'm back on my medicine, it's going to be a bit before I'm back at it's full effect.
