Klonopin is a physically addictive drug, like heroin or alcohol. Meaning, there are physical withdrawal symptoms. Someone who uses it all day, every day, and then suddenly quits, will get very, very sick.

I was an alcoholic, and I relapsed several times before I managed to quit for good (two and a half years ago). Whenever I relapsed, I would become physically addicted to the alcohol again. I would start shaking if I tried to stop drinking. Since my family could not afford to hospitalize me every single time I relapsed, the doctors prescribed Klonopin to me so I could quit at home. Klonopin prevents the seizures that occur when an alcoholic quits drinking.

Anyway, I have a very addictive personality (obviously). Yet I have never been able to understand the appeal of Klonopin as a recreational drug. Klonopin does not get you high. It just makes you fall asleep. It does NOT produce the feeling of euphoria that other drugs (like cocaine, heroin, speed, or even Xanax and Valium) produce.

So, I just cannot understand why people like to take Klonopin recreationally. Unless passing out for 14 hours is your idea of a good time.
