Addiction to Klonopin is a problem for me,
but I take it for non-anxiety reasons (tension
headaches) and I do a bad job of staying at
the same dose. Generally if you stick strongly
to a dosing regimen the addiction potential on
Klonopin is one of the lowest. A benzo isn't a
bad solution based on all discussed here.
Klonopin is nice because you can take it 2x a
day and it holds a fairly level in your body, so
there are few ups and downs as compared to a shorter
acting med like xananx.Good luck,

So what I can understand from your answers is that I should try another BZD, as I've understood Buspar would be a better option(if it worked!) than BZD since the BZDs can cause addiction, isn't that problem for you??
