I think we need to differentiate between 'addiction' and 'physical dependence'. I have never abused Klonopin, nor am I addicted to it. I take it exactly as prescribed. I don't have addiction issues, just don't have that tendency. I do, however, have a physical dependence upon Klonopin. That is, my body is so used to the daily Klonopin that if I don't take it, I have physical withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, I am weaning myself off the medication very slowly.
