it might. or, it might not.

sometimes the problem can be that we are looking, or even expecting things to happen. something might be happening to you while you are tapering and you may think it's due to the lower klonopin.

not saying that what you are feeling is not real, or not caused by your reduction to date. but, we are obviously hyper-sensitive and unsure of what is coming when we withdraw.

just a suggestion; try your best to know that if you go very slow, have to hold, or even go up for a bit, you will be fine.

again; the vast majority of people who taper off klonopin properly do not post their experiences.

the internet is a very very narrow place for information. please realize this.

nothing against those of us here, but we are 'special.' many of us are very sensitive to medications and/or have chronic issues. try not to get discouraged with what you may read here.

are you working with a doctor on this? as i wrote before; please work with a doctor that you can trust and communicate with. between the two of you i am pretty sure you will be fine.

*edit; another suggestion. sorry. i would not seek out answers to 'what else can i expect?' i hope this does not come-off as insensitive. each person is different. again; i have known many people to come-off klonopin. if you do it right i am pretty sure you will not suffer much, or at all. i am repeating myself; the people i know who 'suffered' went too fast or cold-turkeyed. it's not a race. go at your own comfortable pace.*
