Klonopin Use

Posted by rclouv @rclouv, Jan 9 5:24pm

I’ve been struggling with anxiety for over 7 years. In addition to taking Desvenlafaxine, i also have been taking klonopin, an average of 3-4 milligrams a week. Usually separated by a couple of days (but occasionally back to back). I’ve been cutting back the last couple of weeks and am struggling. Could i be addicted using this small of a dose? My psychiatrist (only used for med management) says no. He said I’d need to be taking much more and daily to be addicted. Any answers?

@bonez3861 I am so sorry this happened to you. There ought to be lawsuits against "doctors" who do this sort of thing. It is outrageous.

Good advice.

It took 27 years to become dependent?

No. I was in tolerance withdrawal for years. I knew something was wrong, I just couldn’t get my psychiatrist to acknowledge it. Only when I became agoraphobic did he acknowledge what was going on and then promptly abandoned me.
