Hmm...interesting. Like I said though, it seems like a really long time. I wasn't discounting your plan or anything like that.
And also, you have to remember that I can take klonopin for months daily and then stop cold turkey. I think I've only ever tapered down once other than right now. It's usually more of a "I'm good, I don't need my klonopin anymore so I'm not taking it after today" thing.
