The thing you call "INTER-DOSE WITHDRAWAL" is well-known-so much so that there is a joke that if you want to know what time it is, ask someone who is taking Xanax.
I complete agree with you about benzos causing dependence in many individuals and people should be cautioned about stopping abruptly...as is the case with many drugs. But if all drugs that should be tapered off of were taken off the market, we'd be treated for a lot of ills with M&M's.
I'm not sure a degree in philosophy is needed to understand the difference between dependence and addiction-and I also think it is important to understand the difference; which is huge.
