: Hi, yes, Klonopin is addictive, but not as
: addictive as xanax. Klonopin is a long
: lasting anti anxiety medication. A little
: bit goes a long way. Your body naturally
: will get use to the same dose as with any
: narcartic drug. Klonopin however lasts for at
: least 6hrs. If you can keep yourself on a
: low dose you may not have such a hard time
: when you want to come off the med.
: I have been on Klonopin for 2yrs now. I have
: cut down from a very high dose I was taking.
: If you take and antidepressant such as Zoloft
: which I highly recommend, you may not need
: too much Klonopin because the Zoloft
: (non-addicting) works on the the parts of the
: brain as Klonopin.
: It also comes in generic Clanezepam.

: : : Your summation is correct, save two

: nordiazapam and can stay in the system
: 200+hours. This is relatively minor

: You were very wrong to relate Zololft with
: Klonopin; they are like apples and oranges.
: Zoloft is a selective serotonin reuptake
: inhibitor, a class of anti-depresssants.
: Zoloft works by blocking serotonin's reuptake
: to the pre-synaptic neuron. Serotonin or 5Ht
: carries messages from neurons in the brain;
: after the 5Ht has finished its delivery to
: the post syaptic neuron, usually it is
: reuptaked to it the pre-neuron. But in
: between the neurons is the synaptic cleft,
: and by blocking 5Ht's reuptake it has no
: choice to exist in the sysnaptic cleft. For
: still unknown mechanisms this can help
: depression and some other disorders.
: But Klonopin works the GABA
: (gammmaminobutryric acid). GABA slows other
: neurons; drugs like Klonopin accentuate this
: process; it also slows down the nervous
: system and is considered mildly addictive.
: There are many valid subjective reasons for
