I mostly think the phrase “psychologically addictive” is way less clear than necessary to communicate to me.
I think I would write the paragraph as something vaguely like:
“The physiological withdrawal symptoms of Benzodiazepines can be avoided—but often people have a bad time coming of Benzodiazepines because they start relying on them over other coping mechanisms. So doctors try to avoid them.”
It seems possible to come up with something that is both succinct and actually communicates the gears.
