A member asked:
Can taking low dose clonazepam (0.5mg) once or twice a week as needed to help sleep cause habit forming? or is this low of a dose safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As a general rule 3 days or less per week should not be habit forming. That being said some are very sensitive to this type of medication. If you find it is no longer working at the current dose then that is an indication you should hold it for a while.
