should not be too bad, you are taking a low dosage. You may feel like you cant sleep and feel a lil more edgy but it wont be bad.

That is prolly the best thing to do. I was taking 4mg a day and stopped cold turkey, and it was terrible. I had the shakes, i felt like i was speeding and had other symptoms but dont remember. I am back on the kolonopin but this time when i get off, i will definetly wean myself off.

My recomended dosage is 2mg in the morning and 2mg at night. They are 2mg pills. And yes that is alot, but some people take more than that. If i take that dosage, im drugged all day and dont remember a damn thing from the day before.

I am trying to take 1mg at morning and 1mg at night.

To autume:
If you are prepared to get off clonazepam (Klonopin) you have to diminish the dosage every 2 weeks in 0.125 mg increments.
You may have to buy 0.5 mg tablets and cut them in fourths (0.125mg each fourth) and diminish one fourth every 2-3 weeks. You will have less symptoms, because if you get off too quicly maybe you will have anxiety and you are going to have to return to the original dose.
