Sorry, I'm a little pedantic on this point. Medicine uses very precise language for clear understanding.

Having lived through cold turkey Lyrica withdrawal, I'm not much interested in the distinction. No, I didn't crave Lyrica, after it was out of my system, as I would other addictive substances. However, the real problem we're discussing is doctors who refuse to acknowledge the very real suffering of patients breaking their dependency. TERRIBLE DRUG!!!!!
