Hi Dawn. Klonopin is a benzodiazepine and is indicated for panic disorder. It is "addictive" which just means that (assuming you don't abuse it!) you shouldn't stop taking it abruptly after having used it for a while (rebound anxiety and insomnia are likely, seizures rare but not impossible). Occasionally people have been known to abuse benzodiazepines, usually in combination with alcohol.
Glad to hear that you're doing better.
