Lacking reason for klonopin, and being unaware of why you are tapering makes it unfeasible to be precise. Would suggest your blood pressure issues be addressed by your doctor, not you alone. Doubt the main mechanism is the klonopin dosing, but this too can be addressed by your doctor. Highly recommend close coordination.

Too early to call on an isolated blood pressure. Continue with weaning yourself off clonazepam under the directions of your prescriber, if blood pressure consistently high days after stopping taking clonazepam, it will have to be addressed as such.
