Actually, Klonopin is a longer acting benzo that is actually used on a more long term basis than Xanax or Ativan because of its much longer
half life. It is a benzo and can become addicting, however, talk to your doctor about it. Sane doctors do prescribe this for six months or longer because of the longer half life. Remember that we are not doctors in this forum, so just ensure you talk to your doctor about this.
