Hey Syndrome,

I had no idea what SSR's are/were, so I did a bit of research. Whilst doing so, I came across this info:

Stopping treatment with SSRIs
SSRIs aren't addictive. However, stopping antidepressant treatment abruptly or missing several doses can cause withdrawal-like symptoms. This is sometimes called discontinuation syndrome. Work with your doctor to gradually and safely decrease your dose.

Withdrawal-like symptoms can include:

General feeling of uneasiness
Nausea
Dizziness
Lethargy
Flu-like symptoms

So, not addictive, per se, but you can experience addictive-like withdrawal symptoms (not sure how that makes it any different?).

Found that here, if you're interested.

All the best, mate.
