I take Klonopin (Clonazepam) 2 mg. / day. I guess this isn't a very high dosage. But I'm an older person. And at higher dosages, there is a risk of falls in older people who take it. So 2mg. per day is about the most I can take. However, even at my relatively low dosage, I wouldn't want to go off cold turkey, so to speak.

So I hope that if you aren't going to continue taking it, or if you can't for some reason, you'll be able to use some of that stash you mentioned to taper yourself off as gradually as possible. I recall reading a post by another member a while back who did go off all at once. And I recall the member writing they couldn't sleep for days. It sounded as though it was a pretty unpleasant experience for them... best to be avoided if you can arrange it. Best wishes...
