Uh-oh! I've done it, have I?
I wasn't trying to, honest!

I'd tend to think the latter would be the case.

For the purpose of this thread, absolutely! (For an academic discussion, well... then, a good cans of worms is always fun!
) Seriously though, I really wasn't trying to cause confusion for anyone, and I apologize if I did.
My intent was merely to agree with you, Doc, about using the word "dependence" (without the
psychological qualifier, either), as opposed to the word "addiction" as I'd previously posted, for Adamo's case of possibly asking a doctor about benzos.
