> I agree--there seems to be no doubt that antidepressants can cause physiological dependence, as this is the origin of the withdrawal symptoms associated with some ADs. However, I can't say I have ever noticed a craving or psychological compulsion to take any of the ADs I've tried, not even during withdrawal.

As a Parnate consumer, I have heard anecdotal evidence that those folk with a predisposition to becoming addicted to stuff can get up to some really high dosages and start to 'need' Parnate like a speed freak can need amphetamines. I'm only at 60 mg and don't have a particularly addictive personality, but it's something I'll monitor, for sure.
