Squiggles - Next time you may want to slowly switch to Valium™ (diazepam) from the Klonopin™ (clonazepam). The Valium (and it's active metabolites) have even a longer half-life than Klonopin (100h V vs. 18-36h K). The longer half-life may give you better protect from the seizures (which are quite common when withdrawing from long-term benzodiazepine use). You may have to use a much slower withdrawl schedule (eg. withdraw over the course of a year).
Valium is both an anxiolytic and anticonvulsant, like Klonopin. Ask your doctor what he/she thinks of this method. - Cam
