I'm a benzo advocate. Yes, they can be addictive, but with proper use, you shouldn't become addicted. I go on and off klonopin all the time. I know that's a rarity, but just within the last week I've gone down from taking 4-5mg to just 2 a day, and I'm planning on reducing that again and some more. Hopefully to none which I've done before on my own with no issues, but if I need it, I need it. However, sometimes I don't. Good luck!
