Follow as Prescribed: Tapers usually take longer than a few days. Tapers usually end up taking 7-14 days. In the final days of a taper the patient is usually down to one dose, then even maybe a 1/2 of that dose once a day. The amount of time on the original dose will usually determine the necessary length of taper. Seizures are still possible to stay away from dangerous activities and talk to your doctor.

Withdrawal: You were never on a huge dose of Klonopin (clonazepam) and with the slow taper there should be no significant withdrawal symptoms.
