Possibly: Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepine dependence develops with long-term use, even at low therapeutic doses. You should discuss the potential risks and benefits of this (and/or any) medication with the prescribing doctor and consider these carefully, so that you can make an informed decision about taking this medication. The potential benefit to you may outweigh this potential risk.
