Gradually! I read one article that coming off of klonopin can be as hard as coming off of heroin....it has to be done in stages. Talk to your doctor and take the prescribed amount your doctor has prescribed---what you are used too. I bet if you do, your headaches will go away. Best of luck to you.

Hi,
Been on Klonopin for 25 plus years. One mg 4 times a day. I know I am addicted. Ran out over the weekend 2 times. Long weekend. Sometimes I can miss a dose and no problem other times I get chest pains, lite headed, breathing problems. If you can reduce it must be done very slowly.
