Question about clonazepam dependence...

Question

I take clonazepam almost every night to help sleep... usually 1mg or 1.5mg... been doing this consistently for about a month... and I have about 20 pills left and 3 refills. If I keep doing this till all those run out could I become addicted? I don't take them during the day, only at night usually.

Answer 1

not exactly...but dont take any chances.....it can surely become dependable.i would suggest you to withdraw.

i am also doing the same thing for quite sometime.doctor prescribed me for my backache, due to which i was unable sleep.

but he told to stop after sometime, eventually i did not do that.

i also want to withdraw from using it shortly.

by the way....are u also suffering form back ache?

best regards,

mani

Answer 2

I definitely think that you might develop some sort of dependence. If you can sleep without using them, then you should at least try.

Answer 3

Out of the benzos it has the least addiction possibility because it has the longest half-life but I still think you will develop a dependency on it very easily after that time. You should try some alternative that isn't so likely to cause dependency.
