Yes, addiction and dependance are worlds a part; they are no where near the same thing.Everyone will become dependent to some degree
if they take benzos every day for an extended period. If I take Atavin for maybe a month every day I become dependant, though mild. It is not an issue unless I am stupid and go cold turkey.Addiction is perhaps the difference between someone who has 2 beers every night and and an
alcoholic.Addiction always carries serious negative consequences. Despite these serious consequences
the drug/meds use continue and increases.You might want to do some google searches on this, ie "Addiction vs Dependance" as there is lots of info on what the difference between them.
