Weight is a funny thing. I had to reduce my Klonopin dose from 1 mg to 0.5/day because it caused depression (who knows, maybe even the 0.5 is causing some depression) and I weigh 210 lbs at 6'2". I have a 120 lb female friend that takes 6 mg/day! I took 1.5 mg/day for about 4 weeks (the least the pdoc recommended) and it caused depression and constant sleepiness. While you're educating that pdoc, you might throw in the occurance of depression with some people, too. :>} Best luck with the withdrawal-I didn't find withdrawing from Klonopin to cause any symptoms at all if I withdrew reasonably slowly. So don't be a hero and withdraw too quickly and suffer (what's a couple more weeks in the great Plan of Things?)-it's not worth it!
