I take Klonopin almost every day, mostly for a swallowing problem. It's nothing dangerous like you might see anywhere online.

How dangerous depends on a lot of factors. Relatively speaking, it is more dangerous than other medications for anxiety but less dangerous than other benzos that have shorter half lives(i.e. Ativan and Xanax).

If it is prescribed to a person who has few complicating factors for a seizure disorder or related neurological disorder, that is a completely different situation than when it prescribed for a someone suffering from a chronic mental illness, especially if he/she is or has a history of chemical dependency and/or suicidal ideation.
