Hello @repeterb47. I sense your concern and care for your son's wanting to taper off of klonopin. Mayo Clinic also says,

"If you have been taking this medicine for a long time, do not stop taking it without checking first with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are using before stopping it completely. This may help prevent worsening of your condition and reduce the possibility of withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures, hallucinations, stomach or muscle cramps, tremors, or unusual behavior." The best way to get information on an appointment with Mayo Clinic or to ask if Mayo has a program is to contact any of the three sites, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

You may notice I moved your discussion and merged it with an existing discussion titled "Klonopin taper." I did this so you could meet the many members discussing the tapering of this particular medication.

@repeterb47, has your son been advised by a provider or pharmacist to stop the medication? Or is it a desire?
