And even from that site you linked to:
"Physical dependence is a state of adaptation that often includes tolerance and is manifested by a drug class specific withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug, and/or administration of an antagonist."
I will point out the words "withdrawal syndrome" and "physical dependence".
While you may not be "addicted" to Efexor or whatever, you can certainly be "dependent" upon it and suffer "withdrawal".
I may be being bitchy at the moment. I will admit to a temptation to hunt the execs of Wyeth down and put them on Efexor, then take them off it.
See what they say about how it feels.
