Physically? I doubt it. It is non-habit forming...
Mentally, yes. You can mentally get addicted to anything from water to love, anything at all.
You can crave the caffiene in Excedrine though...
I would be careful with it though, it thins your blood, god forbid you get into an accident and bleed out. You will need to be given clotting factors. Even though it is OTC, be careful.

I think so but the cycle you get into is painful. When I was in high school I took aspirin several times a day and it made me nauseous and my stomach hurt and have a headache so I'd take more. You just have to stop because it can lead to internal bleeding.

One of the killers in "In Cold Blood" was supposedly addicted to aspirin. He said he liked the taste of it and ate a lot of it. Now whether he was really addicted or not, who knows?
This one site lists withdrawl symptoms.

Excedrin has caffeine in it.... i bet a person could easily come to depend on it.
