Wouldn't the withdrawls qualify them as habit forming? Calling them extremely addicting would probably be inaccurate, but "There's a good chance you'll feel awful if you stop taking this" seems like it may encourage forming a habit.
Apparently there may be tolerance for antidepressants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant_treatment_tachyphylaxis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant_treatment_tachy...
>ADT tachyphylaxis incorporates drug sensitivity as a potential causal factor for the decreased response. However, tolerance provides a more accurate explanation. While the exact cause of ADT tachyphylaxis in individual cases is unknown, drug tolerance is a more comprehensive model, as it includes mechanisms of pharmacodynamic tolerance, metabolic tolerance, and others.[7]

- Tiksi 11y agoSure, but 'habit forming' is a lower bar to cross than either.
