Post no...

The are not addicting... Addiction means that the person "craves" the drug and craves more of it over time.

But both drugs do affect the body in ways that make it hard
to stop taking them. They ideally should be tapered down when stopped. There have been reports of some people having seizures when discontinued suddenly.
This is a form of physiological habituation, similar to the effects of SSRI SSNI antidepressants. They must also be tapered off.
