I don't know if it's just me(my body chemistry?) but I've been prescribed clonazepam 1mg three times a day for over a decade and I've never developed a problem/dependance/addiction. I've stopped taking any benzo(which in this case would be my clonazepam) for several days(or more) at a time with no problems or withdrawal symptoms.
I feel lucky. There must be something different about the way my body processes these types of medications bc I know how horrible, and long, benzo WD can be.
Although I often only take 1.5 mg's/day instead of 3 so I'm sure that helps but it doesn't explain the complete lack of WD symptoms. I guess everyone's different.
I do believe that if you're going to be taking a benzo every day indefinitely it should be a long lasting one like clonazepam, not alprazolam.
Now, opioids on the other hand, are a completely different story. I'm completely and utterly dependent on opioids.
