Your doc could easily give you a script for Klonopin, even when there is a past history of drug abuse.
In certain situations, benzo scripts are written with very specific instructions e.g. NO refills, and giving only a 30 day supply...Even if the prescription includes refills, the doc can request that the med not be refilled before a certain date.
A competent doc has to realize that there are certainly some circumstances when a benzo is needed...to say that "I don't prescribe benzos to anyone" seems a little irresponsible, if not unethical.
