> Klonopin is simply very addictive.
I do not feel this statement is true for all who use Klonopin long term and routinely. In particular in light of the true definition of dependence versus addiction.
Most studies reveal a lower incidence of true addiction with longer half life benzo's than short acting ones.
I supportive anyone's choice to D/C or continue meds as their individual circumstances and choices deem.
As a long term monotherapy Klonopin user, I feel unsupported and judged when I read this type of blanket statement.
