Slow taper: Talk to prescribing doctor for guidance on stopping Klonopin (clonazepam). Best to taper slowly as directed by your doctor. Take care.

Taper.: Stopping one mg. of klonopin (clonazepam) would probably not cause a seizure, but reducing to 0.5 mg daily for a week for make it even safer. Have you taken either paroxetine or imipramine to prevent panic attacks?
