I had been taking Klonopin, as much as 4 mg. per day, back in 2002, then decided to wean off of it last year. It took me many months to do it, going down VERY slowly every couple of weeks. A few times I had some withdrawal anxierty or insomnia but eventually I prevailed because I decreased as slowly as possible AND I substituted an equivalent dose of Valium (Alprzolam) toward the end of my taper. I know very well about the benzo.org website and it sure is enough to scare anyone needlessly. But they do have very useful conversion and tapering charts for you to use. Good luck--it CAN be done!
