A member asked:
Is klonopin (clonazepam) addictive? i am having great success on it and would like to stay on it long term. is this typical or is it only for short term use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzodiazapines: One of the issues with Klonopin (clonazepam) is that tolerance can develop. I try to use Klonopin (clonazepam) as a bridging medication. In other words, i often use it until the effects of another medication (such as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor ) kick in.
