The half-life is 18-50 hours, which means the amount decreases by half every 18-50 hours.If Klonopin has a half life of 24 hours in your system and you take 3 mg you will have 1.5 mg after one day, 0.75 mg after two days, 0.375 mg after three days etc. Whether it will be detectable in the blood stream also depends on your weight and the testing method. After 10 helf lives it would probably be pretty much undetectable under most circumstances.
PS
If you are thinking of going cold turkey, DO NOT DO IT! With Klonopin it might take 2-5 days before you notice withdrawal symptoms, but once they hit they can be very intense and can last anywhere from two weeks to two years. You can also have siezures.
