I agree with @sears on the detox issue.
If your doctor told me to go to a detox center I wouldn't hesitate to tell him/her in no uncertain terms exactly where they could go. I think your doctor needs to be reminded who he's working for. It shouldn'matter how you get off the drug. I'd never go to a detox facility.
Ask him what percentage of
his detoxed patients came out withdrawal symptom-free.
Although it doesn't always work I believe that your best and least expensive chance for a successful taper is by tapering very slowly and if possible without adding additional drugs. Going slow will ease if not get rid of any unwanted effects.

I agree, but he has gone and cut me off from 4mg down to 2mg without even thinking about tapering me down. This was about 2 years ago. Lucky for me I was using only 2mg at that time. I sometimes took the other 2mg with Excedrin migraine pills when I had migraines, but I stopped taking Klonopin with the Excedrin migraine pills. I am 53 and have a lot of health problems so I thought maybe I should try this when I tackle some of these issues, but I recently quit the antidepressant he was giving me, Lexapro, and I feel even more depressed, and Benzos cause depression, so I thought, I should start on a slow detox if it doesn't hurt. You said you cut your pills yourself? At which dose did you decide to jump off at?
