I'm a bit worried about the medication my GP prescribed. They've suggested I take Lonazep .5 every day for a month, plus Lonazep .25 in the morning for 10 days. I'm just concerned about whether this will cause any addiction or if I'll experience withdrawal symptoms when I stop. Does this sound okay to you?
