Dependency or Addiction?

[rose]

I take 4 drugs and only one (Diazepam) is described as addictive. I suppose addiction is where you need more and more of something to get the same rush/effect, it takes an incredible amount of willpower not to repeat the behaviour.
Dependency is a physical need. Like Gambling is addictive but with alcohol your body becomes dependent on having it; you can't just stop drinking if you're an alcoholic but you could just stop gambling.

My other medicines are not addictive or dependent. I could stop Fluoxetine and Quetiapine at any time, I'd feel like crap for a bit and then be ok.
The only one I am unsure about is Pregabalin, now I think about it. If my pdoc's advice was correct, suddenly stopping can cause seizures and so the drug has to be decreased slowly. Therefore I would probably have to say I am dependent of Pregabalin.
