Klonopin has the longest half life of any other benzodiazepine. It takes over 24 hrs for half of it to leave your system, another 24 hrs for half of that to leave your system and so forth. Speak with the prescribing physician on how to do this SAFELY, PLEASE. I was a detox nurse for over 20 yrs.

You are not correct! Valium, Clorazepate and Librium have MUCH longer half lives than Klonopin, MUCH longer. That’s why the Ashton Method for withdrawal of Benzos recommends switching to Valium to withdraw. Valiums half life is over 100 hours and its active metabolite is around 300 hours.
