Is There Such a Thing as a Stimulant That Is Physically Addicting?

It seems to me the only drugs that cause painful (and even fatal) physical withdrawal symptoms are downers / depressants (alcohol, barbiturates, opiates).

The uppers cause a psychological craving, not not a physical addiction (cocaine and crack, amphetamines, meth).

I suppose nicotine is a stimulant, and while quitting smoking is hard (I am a smoker),the withdraws don’t come close to the withdraw from downers.

Is it possible for the body to become physically addicted to a stimulant?
