A member asked:
I wanted to know is clonazepam an addictive drug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is ...: There is a "pleasure center" in your brain designed to respond to good food, good relations, and good work. A substance or behavior that generates a more than expected reward can lead to incentive sensitization if the person is biologically predisposed to addiction. All drugs in the benzodiazepine family will lead to dependence, sooner or later.
