I am coming out of DP, whilst in DP I was taking

0.25mg of klonopin twice a day (which is half a tablet twice a day
(for the past 3 months or so)

I have been feeling anxious and nauseous and getting back ache. Could I have possibly become addicted on such a low dose as this?

I don't feel 100% in myself so am not sure if it is the clonezapam doing this to me or whether it is because mentally I am still not well.

Any ideas?

Please help

It's possible, possible...Some people get addicted to benzo's quite quickly, and can have terrible withdrawal symptoms, but others can take 1000mg a day for ten years and cold turkey it with no problems. I've taken hefty amounts of benzo's for months on end, and quit without any problems. But in any case, don't cold-turkey a benzo...do a slow taper. Diazepam is best, or so I'm told.

It's a very low dose you're on, and while it's possible that you are going through some kind of mild withdrawal, I'd wager that your physical symptoms are more do to with normal muscle tenseness that accompanies anxiety.
