Clonazepam Withdraw: Hi BrittneyS, If you are only going to be out of medicine for one day, you don't need to worry. Clonazepam has a very long half life of around 30 hours. Drugs are usually around for 4-5 times their half life, which you can see by dividing any number by 2 several times. Make sure to call your physician and let him or her know. Be careful not to run out from now on to keep the drug level stable.
