> How long does an average person take klonopin before they're addicted?

~~~ Medical Dependence can happen at around three weeks of continued use. Some folks never become addicted even after years of using a benzo as defined by what REAL addiction is defined as.


> How much can a person take before they become addicted?

~~~ Addicted indivduals generally have ever increasing doses and do not reach a maintance dose for any long period of time.

Use of benzo's have well documented and reported pitfalls that are very real and horrible. Caution does need to be exercised. What isn't as common to hear is some folks do very well on them for long periods of time without abusive or addiction findings in their use. I think they are a good class of meds with some very approproiate uses and users.
