I guess I'm high risk for addiction...
So I'm going to have to be careful how I use them.> I was on clonazepam 1mg for many months and never had to raise the dosage.
That is good.
> If you need benzos then you need benzos.Well... Chlorpromazine will drug me if I take enough of that. That is probably just as helpful to me (truth be told) and isn't as addictive. There are always other options.
> benzos are so effective I would wonder why someone would want to stop taking them.
Because some people find they do develop a tolerance (they need more to achieve the same effects over time).
I guess it depends on the person...
