I have just gotten to zero klonopin this week. You sound like you certainly could have withdrawal symptoms. It seems that you must metabolize klonopin pretty quickly since you experience symptoms by the next day. (it takes my system about 4 days to notice the decrease).

What worked well for me (also at 0.5 to begin with), was to reduce by 0.125 mg (1/4 of a 0.5 mg tab) every 2-3 weeks. And the very last week I even did 0.125 mg every other day to ease off even more slowly.

I saw one place a mom with a child on it for seizures actually shaved the pills by hand to go down extremely slowly.

Definitely possible to get hard withdrawal symptoms from just a .25 mg decrease. Go much slower and it will be easier.

Good luck,

Kate
