Klonopin (clonazepam): Depends on the daily dose, although withdrawal should be mild & short-lasting as long as tapering is done slowly and since Klonopin (clonazepam) has fairly long half-life. Let your doctor guide you on how to do that, and wish you well.

Unlikely: Klonopin (clonazepam) has a very long half-life, meaning it hangs around in your body & is gradually removed for a long time after your last dose (gradually tapering you down). 6 days is also a very short treatment course & your brain is unlikely to develop tolerance or addiction. Having said that, however, anything is possible. If you're experiencing withdrawal, then that's what's happening to you.
