Yes: You can develop symptoms of withdrawal from this medication after only taking it for three weeks. You should contact the prescribing doctor and ask for a taper off the drug if you intend to quit it. If you do this, you should avoid any complications.

Klonopin (clonazepam) withdrawal: Klonopin (clonazepam), a benzodiazepine, is tolerance inducing (meaning one will require hier doses to achieve the same effect). Benzos shu not be stopped without following the instructions of the prescribing doc, as this can lead to withdrawal. Withdrawal is more likely if benzos are taken with alcohol. While hier doses for longer periods are associated w hier risk of w/d, w/d can occur. C ur doc
