Taper Klonopin (clonazepam): You may or may not have habituation at this dose and 2 weeks' time, but tapering is still the wisest path. To accomplish this, please work with with the doctor who prescribed your medicine. Since you've only taken Klonopin (clonazepam) for 2 weeks, it should be generally possible to reduce the dose by .5mg over 5-7 days with each step.
