Klonopin Addiction: Abuse Signs & Treatment Options

What Is Klonopin, and What Is It Used for?

What Are the Side Effects of Klonopin?

Of course, not everyone experiences these side effects, and some people will experience worse side effects than others, but all of the above is possible when it comes to Klonopin use.

These side effects are common, but they are typically more manageable. More serious side effects are possible but thankfully are rare. Serious issues include hallucinations, severe confusion, and difficulty breathing. You should seek medical attention if you experience any of these issues.

Why Is Klonopin Dangerous?

While Klonopin unquestionably has numerous benefits, it has many features that make it dangerous, susceptible to abuse, and susceptible to withdrawal symptoms.

Broadly speaking, Klonopin has many standard features that make it ripe for addiction. Taking it will often feel good for the user. It can help to create a series of pleasant sensations, including relaxation. It is fast-acting, meaning that its euphoric effects can be felt very quickly. However, despite its fast-acting nature, some people will still snort the drug, putting them at an increased chance of developing an addiction or overdosing.

Regular users of Klonopin may develop a tolerance to the drug. This means that they will need to take larger amounts of the drug in order to get the same sensations. Developing a tolerance is not indicative of a use disorder; after all, there are many legitimate reasons why someone may need to take Klonopin on a regular basis. However, the fact that Klonopin use may create a tolerance does increase the odds that someone may develop an addiction to the treatment since taking more of the drug is likely to make someone become more dependent on it.
