I've been taking Klonipin (clonazepam) for about 4 months now and have had zero problems tapering off to where I only take it when I absolutely need to. I think at the low doses addiction is rare. My daughter has been on and off of them for years and has never had a problem either. There is a moment of anxiety when my pdoc talks about taking them away - but that is more of a fear that I won't have anything to help with the anxiety than an actual "don't take my Klonipin, I NEED it need it". It's often then that I realize I haven't even had one in days.
