Brief Answer:
It takes about one to two weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Klonopin having half life of 18-35 hours takes almost one week to clear from the body and two weeks from receptors. So it can be said that by the end of another week you will be completely free from the klonopin and its effects at the all receptor level.

I hope this answers your question.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
