I'll echo what's been said here many times. It is addictive!! It's a very fast acting benzo, which is part of the reason why it's so abused.
I, too, was prescribed it for a couple of years, and unfortunately I also had access to additional pills as well. As time went on, I noticed that I was not feeling the effects as much, so I would increase my dosages without the doctor's knowledge.
I subsequently put myself in the position that I had to 'ease' off of it under a doctor's care.
