Minimal : Klonopin (clonazepam) is one of the drugs that has relatively minimal side effects when tapering/discontinuing use. Depending on the dose you were taking and individual reaction - symptoms are usually mild and transient. Best bet is a stepwise titration over 1-2 weeks to ensure the best result. Hope that helps!

Don't rush taper: Assume Klonopin (clonazepam) was treating anxiety. Withdrawal symptoms should be minimal to none if you taper very slowly over several weeks. Tapering should be supervised by prescribing doctor. Hope this helps.
