Physical Dependency: I don't understand the question. It seems that you're using the word "addicted" in a contentious way with little cause. If you've been taking this medication as prescribed for a medical condition followed by your doctor then, I can't say whether you are or aren't "ADDICTED." I believe you've a likely physical dependency & as such would not recommend abruptly stopping for fear of adverse reactions.
