Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Drug should not be stopped suddenly or without the direct supervision and guidance of a medical professional. Potentially fatal seizures or a coma may occur with the sudden cessation of Klonopin. Need medical detox 5-7 days for recovery. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
