I take both and my anxiety is controlled. Klonopin 0.5 mg twice a day. I have never upped my dose. Benzodiazepines can be addictive.

I have been on Klonopin for up to six years for Anxiety. I am already physically dependent upon it. Please note: There is a BIG difference between "addiction" and "physical dependence" upon a prescribed medication. My Doctor explained this to me. "Addiction" is when you go to great lengths to obtain the drug and
you abuse the drug, whereas "physical dependence" means your body has adjusted to the medication and you had a Doctor prescribe it to you. "Addiction" is meant more for illegal street type drugs. Leah09
