I think sometimes when talking about benzos the word/association is "addicted". I think sometimes we are really talking about tolerance. And yes, tolerance can lead to addiction (i.e. taking more and more benzos). I was on 4 mg of Clonazepam at one point. It's because I would be on a dosage and then I became tolerant of that dosage and so it had to be increased (I am now on .5 mg). So I wasn't really addicted in the true sense of the world. For instance I wasn't counting down the minutes of when I got my next dosage.
So that's my view on benzos and addiction. :)
