Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Can Bostonistas confirm that cell service has been shut down across the Boston metro area? My brother isn't answering his texts.
, or just that the drug has affected your body in such a way that if you don't take it, you have adverse effects.

Pretty much every antidepressant will cause withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it suddenly.
Same thing happens to me if I forget to pick up my Lexapro refill -- I can miss one day, but I'd better not miss two. Less of a problem if I forget the bupropion, but I once missed it three days in a row -- something I don't want to do again.

I'm still not sure that qualifies as addiction, in the sense of a behavioral problem. Because you aren't using it (or wanting to use it) for a reason (or effects) other than for what it was prescribed for.
I'd wager that the majority of people on antidepressants experience some degree of physical dependence. They were hard as hell for me to go off, because of the withdrawal.
Amtrak has been shut down, at least temporarily.
In other disaster news, a guy who in-person-saw the Boston Marathon bombing also saw the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas this week.
