U can taper off.: Some people are very sensitive to Geodon (ziprasidone) withdrawal and need to be tapered off gradually by 20 mg every few days or wk. If u experienced w/drawal including anxiety, insomnia, ; panic symptoms, then your dr. Probably prescribed the Klonopin for that. U can try taking it 2 times a day for a wk, then 1 time a day for a wk ; then stop. See if you still need it. Return any unused pills to the pharmacy.
