Klonopin is simply very addictive, with a lot of doctors substituting drugs in the same family with much shorter half lifes for Klonopin as they taper down doses.
Going off it "cold turkey" or without tapering it correctly can causes seizures, hallucinations to the extent that at least one med manual says not to classify anyone as psychotic who has discontinued it for at least one year, terrible nightmares, insomnia, and extreme anxiety.
