I'm not aware of any evidence that either is addictive for the vast majority of patients. Dependency may occur, which means that if you discontinue the medication after extended use, you have to do so gradually. However, true "addiction" to these meds appears to be extremely rare, although some people may use the term "addiction" incorrectly, using criteria by which aspirin, insulin, some blood pressure drugs etc. would also be considered "addictive".
