I'm quite curious, but hypothetically, based on average from reports or the such, how long would it take someone's body to become psychically addicted to clonazepam if that person were to take 4mg at once a daily, obviously as a recreational manuever. I have done something similar in the past, but it was only for about five days or so. About how long would it take to feel the withdrawal pretty well? And this is based on average because I know everyone has different genetic make-ups.
 
I don't know if an average has ever been worked out. I know I develop a tolerance to benzodiazepines fairly quickly (never addicted though), it could be maybe a few weeks or a couple of months of use for me to feel WD but I've never gone there.

No one can tell you, you just have to find out for yourself... wait, don't do that. Instead, I suggest you listen to 'Bitch's Brew' by Miles Davis and spare yourself a horrible benzodiazepine addiction.
 
4mg of clonazepam is a rather large dose; I don't think it would take much longer than 1 or 2 weeks to become dependent on it, psychologically or physically I am not sure. Psychological addiction can set in sooner than a week.
 
^ And psychological addiction is a bitch as well, physical can be safely done away with but the cravings stay with you for a long, long, long time...
 
Benzos and addiction seems to be a pretty inconsistent topic. Everyone is different, and depending how much you take, it could be anywhere from three weeks to three months. Personally, i've taken combos of alprazolam(usually 1-2 mg) and temazepam(60-90 mg), every day for two months without ever going through withdrawal. My tolerance, however, usually skyrockets which ultimately forces me to quit taking them.

It's hard to say, but dont flirt with benzo addiction if you dont have to
