Be careful about websites like webmd. Stick with reputable facilities like Mayo Clinic.
I was on .5 Ativan, a benzo like klonopin, for over two years. I did I VERY slow wean and have been off it since June. All my doctors, including the one who prescribed it, wanted me off of it.

Can you share more - how much time did you take for very slow wean and did you experience bad side effects from withdrawal?

Yes,I know it should be very slow withdrawal but the doctor really confused me by saying quit after 2 weeks… I extended it to 4 weeks and now I question myself and don’t know what to do. Last 5 weeks were very hard and I am not sure if I did it right.
I don’t want to take it anymore but I have hard time. One of the side effects of Klonopin withdrawal is higher blood pressure. I am on medication for BP and it was under control but in last few days seems to be higher and I don’t know what should I do.
