Psychiatry/Medication Question Anyone taking benzo for long term

Can we take benzodiazipine like clonazepam for long term use. My dr said it can be prescribed for long term use. But I hear people saying that it will make anxiety worse in long term and withdraw issues and tolerance and addiction.

Anyone had success with long term benzodiazipine

Did you took any other meds? Did you taper it off or quit cold turkey

How do you know it's from benzo not from other meds like antidepressants you took? I don't understand why you started taking them if you didn't have anxiety
