klonopin can be a depressing benzo (much more than xanax). i have tapered off 6mg/day in the past- going at about 10%/ week- or less once i felt i could move on. some insomnia, nothing much more than that. you are on a fairly low dose and i suspect won't have much difficulty. at that dose i would space out your second dose (remember the half-life is what 36 hours?) and eventually drop it. at one point i took 2mg/day and got off in a week because i was pregnant- insomnia, panic attacks, etc. but i didn't die or have seizures- just went 2mg day 1, 1.75 mg day 2 , etc. since you don't have a timetable, then i would try my first suggestion. best of luck- judy
