Kloponin addiction?

Is it possible to be addicted to klonopin after taking about 15 pills over a month? I got them to aid in detox from vicodin/suboxone, but now have trouble falling asleep at night without taking them. I only take 1/2 or 1 at a time, and only one a day. Is this something I have to worry about?

Usually it takes the body 3  months to become physically dependant on a substance if it's being taken daily. But, if it's being taken throughout the day or is being abused the body can grow dependent on the pills a little sooner.
I'd say if you were taking them longer than two weeks than defenitly taper to be on the safe side.

Better safe than sorry.
