To taper off klonapin. i'm on 5mg now.... i'm advised: .25 mg for 10days, then .25 mg every other day for 5days, then stop! just a bit rushed sounding to me. trying to avoid a seizure. any advice? thanks?

That sounds good to me unless you have history of seizure disorder. If you are still worry you can taper at a slower pace, 0.25 mg every other day for 10 days, then 0.25 mg every three days x 3 times then stop.
