I have been on 1.5 mg - 2 mg Klonopin for a little while now (probably like 3 months now).

However, whenever I try to reduce it even the slightest amount (I am following my doctor's guidelines and the clinical guidelines that are published in certain places), I get so anxious that I think I need the Klonopin.

What I'm wondering is, is this just a sign that I'm physically dependent on Klonopin or is it a sign that I need the Klonopin?

I was down to 0.75 mg of Klonopin at one point, but I got really anxious again. So I'm wondering if I just need the stuff.

Yes you are absolutely dependent on it physically. But no you are not and addicted. Addiction and dependence are two different things.
