Addiction: Using this too frequently or too much leads to drug tolerance and addiction. Increasing doses means one is addicted. This is not a safe drug for routine or regular use. Please consider getting to a sleep clinic, or a naturopath. Please do some reading on how to train your brain to sleep again.

Klonopin (clonazepam): There are many possible causes for insomnia, and a proper evaluation is needed so that the best treatment can be provided. Klonopin (clonazepam) may not be working now either because you're tolerant to it, or because Klonopin (clonazepam) is not a correct or sufficient treatment for your problem. Please see a psychiatrist or a sleep physician for a full evaluation -- that way you can get help and sleep.
