I really do not know how the addiction, but I prefer to live dependent on a drug to not feel anxiety. even if not 100% better.
That would be a reasonable position to take if these drugs were sustainable.
They are not.
Not only will you eventually develop tolerance withdrawal simply by being on the same dose after a number of years, but you'll be riddled with a number of symptoms far scarier than your initial anxiety ever was. Night terrors, insomnia, myoclonus, akathisia, sever joint and muscle pain, fatigue, morbid depression, etc etc.
Benzos will always be a bandage. They throw a mask over your anxieties for a little while but the crutch rapidly disintegrates.
I'm speaking personal experience I've just recently celebrated my 6th month free of any benzodiazapines and only NOW is my cognition returning, my lust for beauty, culture, knowledge, information etc all are returning. I hadn't realized how seriously benzos affected my cognition until recently it's astounding. Like night and day.
I obviously don't know you very well nor do I know what you're suffering, but unless you're bogged down in panic attacks every time you see your own shadow, you shouldn't submit to a life that's dependent on those pills.
Especially since you've mentioned that klonopin isn't working very well in the first place.
