Not in the way that you would actually crave the medication and feel some need to take more. It's not habit forming, if that's what you mean. You do not get addicted like you would with a narcotic or any other kind of stimulant or depressant. You will have withdrawal symptoms when you go off of it after being on it for awhile, especially if you stop taking it abruptly but that's only because it's leaving your system and your body has to adjust.

i took it for two years and have recently stopped. it takes about 2 - 3 weeks to get out of your system, so you are not immediately deprived of it and your body slowly goes back to normal. while you are taking it, however, it can have a tendency to stop working after awhile. while going off of it you should be under a Dr's supervision.
