I've never been psychologically addicted, but I did become physically addicted to paxil. When it was time to quit, the withdrawl symptoms were a bitch; nausea and dizziness so bad that all I could do was lie in bed or carefully make my way to the bathroom. I even had to shower sitting down because I couldn't trust myself to stay upright.
I kind of understand the difficulty with a psychological addiction, as there were a few times when I thought "If I just take one pill, all this discomfort will dissapear in 30 minutes." But the thought of having to take one pill a day indefinitely was irritating enough to overcome my desire for relief.
