In my opinion most of the psych meds do cause a rather pronounced dependency. I wouldn't call it addiction, because with addiction there is a mental/physical craving for the next dose.

Withdrawal syndrome.....discontinuation syndrome....these common phrases just don't happen if there isn't dependency.

I personally found cannabis far less of a dependency causing substance than any of the psych meds I was on. The meds were really hard to get off. Cannabis was a challenge, but not the intense nightmare the drugs were.
