That's great, bizi!
Actually, I did the Klonopin taper slowly. I started off with only one .5 at bedtime and kept the usual morning and evening doses at 1mg. Over 6 months I tapered the K-pin down to .5 three times/night. Even that tiny amount, done so slowly, failed. I'm waving a white flag at this point and accepted that going off Klonopin just isn't happening.
