Klonopin (clonazepam) d/c: You do not say if you are prescribed Klonopin (clonazepam) for seizure disorder, panic disorder, anxiety, periodic leg movement, or neuralgia. That being said if it's possible for you to taper off it has to be done gradually and with complete involvement of your prescribing professional.
