Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
You can get addicted to Klonopin is you use it for more then 3 weeks regularly.
It can be used up to 3 months though without many problems.
Don't worry about addiction though if it is helping you.
When you wont need it anymore, your doctor will advice you on how to discontinue it - treatment should be withdrawn gradually; decrease dose by 0.125 mg twice daily every 3 days until medication is completely withdrawn.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
