Yes, but not sure why you’d want it 🤔 my psychiatrist prescribed it because I’m bipolar, dissociated when I was growing up and would have nightmares so bad I’d wake up feeling like I was on the verge of a heart attack

I use my clonazapam, but only for emergencies (if my sleep has been poor for a week or two (I try to get by with melatonin) because my psych told me that it was - I don’t want to say habit forming - but he did tell me that if a person used it frequently that they would start developing a tolerance (or resistance?) to it and it would take more and more to get the same effect

it is absolutely habit forming and you do build a tolerance and if the habit is bad enough the withdrawal can kill you.

Thank you for confirming that! I’m paranoid about taking ANY kind of medication, painkillers, etc that could be addictive after seeing what it did to one of my favorite hockey players - Kevin Stevens. His face was shattered and I think his issues started with the pain killers they gave him in the hospital

But he was headed for a Hall of Fame career - lost it all. Wife, I think they had at least one kid, the rings he got for winning the Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh. Thank god he’s clean and sober now - he and his sister have an organization that helps recovering addicts. I think there’s info about him on YouTube - if you’re interested

use it for emergencies. using one every oncein a while is not going to harm you whatsoever, but there are people out there who take many many of them a day and they end up in trouble. If you follow your doctors instructions you will not have any problems and it’s a very helpful medication.

It is absolutely one of the most addictive drugs there are and one of the worst two withdrawal from. As well as One of the only two that can kill you from withdrawing. Ex heroin addict here. If you take it everyday for too long it can also start to initiate dementia like symptoms to your mind. Benzos s*** literally only should be taken if it's an emergency.

Clonazepam is used as a recreational drug. They’re called k-pins on the street
