Benzos. Pretty convinced I had a minor seizure discontinuing that shook me awake with what I experienced as like a flashbang inside my brain.
Psychologically it was quite easy to make the decision to stop and taper down etc. as the drug had accomplished what I wanted from it and I no longer had a solid justification for it, but physically it was an endurance marathon, didn't unclench my jaw for what felt like weeks.
Sleep was rare and awful. My leg was so restless I'd work up a sweat just shaking it trying to not freak the fuck out. It was like a panic attack that just didn't go away for weeks.
Other than that I don't think I've ever had any serious addictions, nor any psychological addictions at all which is what I think people usually mean by "addiction" as opposed to physical dependence, but yeah.
