I spoke recently with a physician who has "chronic EBV" and symptoms we all know . Anyhow, part of his treatment is to use Klonipine to help sleep at night -- he said he is dependent on it, and was not worried by it. I think we tend to shy away from "addictive" meds because they make us think of heroin addicts. Dependence is a better term -- kind of like diabetics are "dependent" on insulin.
Hope you get the help you need.
