Hi Cubbybear,
The "not more than 10% per week" is not written in stone. It is just a suggestion to make the process of withdrawal a little easier. If the medicine is decreased in nearly imperceptible increments, the withdrawal will be less painful.
Some people have no trouble tapering faster, while others may rebound or have other complications if they taper too fast. Also, remember that you should not discontinue benzodiazapines too quickly. I know about the difficulty of having crumbs from trying to cut medicines. That's why I suggested getting a liquid form of Klonopin, if it is available.
