They are physicaly addictive. If taken on a daily basis, one can become tolerent and have to take larger and larger doses to get the same effect. It's my understanding that there is less of a risk of such with klonopin than some of the other benzos, but I could be wrong.
Having run the addiction gauntlant before, I try and take klonopin as little as possiable.
> I am a recovering alcoholic. I have been given just about every drug out there to treat my anxiety, panic attacks and depression. To this date I have had little to no success with anything OTHER then Benzo's such as Valium, Ativan, Atarax....The doctors do not like to prescribe these meds for me due to my addictive nature. I feel I need to be on these drugs. I do not get "high" or act or FEEl anything other then normal. What is the big deal about benzo's anyhow? Anyone else in this situation?
