Which is the most and least addicting diazapam-lorezapam, xanax, kalonopine, or any other known diazapam?
Answer:
All of the benzodiazepines are addictive if taken regularly for long term use-most recommend that they not be taken regularly beyond 2 weeks and if prescribed for longer durations, only use PRN (as needed). Klonopin is generally considered the "least" addictive, followed by Valium, because they have longer half-lives whereas Xanax is considered more readily addictive as it has a short half-life. Here's a link that shows the relative half-lives of the benzos:

After long term use, all of these meds need to be discontinued gradually to reduce the risk of seizures and other severe withdrawal symptoms. Here's a link to a great article on benzos and their distinguishing features:

It's all mildly addictive. And klonopin can kill you in random doses when mixed with certain things. Youd be better off w/ heroin or methaodone than those.
All of them are very addictive (the withdrawls can KILL you). And they're not diazepams. They're benzodiazepines, of which diazpeam (and the other stuff you listed) is one.
All are possibly addicting if taken for unapproved of reasons, or without a doctor's consult, but they are helpful for many Mental Health conditions, especially severe anxiety. I do not know of anyone who is on xanax, lorezapam or diazapam for daily use. Klonidine is used at time for long term daily use, but in small doses. Discuss with your doctor your concerns, and let him/her help you make the best decision for your situation.
They are all benzodiazepines and are all very addicting. Some stay in your system longer and are newer. I am currently on Zanax and a very, very old benzo named Serax or Oxazepam (both prescribed to me) and they are both just as addictive although I have been told that it will be harder to get off of the Serax than the Xanax.
If you take it for anxiety, it can be very helpful. Take as prescribed.
The drugs you mentioned are very addictive and have to be taken with care. I use Xanax to control anxiety and panic attacks and only take it if I feel an episode coming on. I have a friend who takes 5 or 6 Xanax ( 1 mg ) a day and she is going to have a big problem trying to stop.
they are central nervous system system depressants that vary in strength and half life,(the time they remain working in your body). If you talk honestly with your doctor he will be the best judge of dosage. If you disagree with with your doctor then talk with another doctor but let a doctor make these decisions for you as an individual.
i take xanax it is very addictive.. if you have a script for it you have to be strong willed or your script will be gone in a day or so... there is diazapam its called Valium a derivative of benzodiazepam.. all the others are benzodiazapam other anxiety meds is ativan, nuroten theres many synthetic med that aren't as addictive
