I don't think it qualifies under the true definition of addiction. But dependent as hell, yeah! It took me 3 months to wean off of 5mg Zyprexa! I literally had to reduce dosage in crumbs, maybe 1/4 of a milligram at a time. The withdrawals were severe, equal to or worse than what might be called an addiction. The slow weaning was the only way to make it bearable and tolerable so I could keep working and stuff.
