John, When I reduced my standard daily dose of Klonopin from .5mg twice daily to just .5mg at bedtime I noticed muscle twitching and spasms in my *chest* wall around my ribs. It was like a "fluttering" muscle contraction. It would start up a few hours before my bedtime dose and would subside rapidly after I took it. If I ever go off of Klon. it will have to be very very slowly. It took a week or two to stop twitching after I lowered the dose in half.

hope this is of some help.

Mitch
