I meant the real world terms of chemical dependency and addiction not Gurps.
No one will die from coffee withdrawal, for example, even if they're fully addicted.
But back when I took Paxil, quitting suddenly was very dangerous even though I had no problem tapering down and quitting completely when it was of no more use.
