> Addiction isnt the issue its dependence. I've gone through periods of taking relatively high doses of klonopin (5mg daily) and it wore me down that i needed that much sedatives just to function. Physically your body will become dependent on it and you have to recognize that and remember to take your meds or face un-fun withdrawl.

That is what my psych says. But he also said we could switch around with different benzos if that happens. Take a "holiday" so to speak. Or he said to try taking Klonopin one night and Ambien the next.
