Bottom line, Squiggles, I think you are incorrect in your belief that clonazepam can't produce tolerance. I am living proof, and didn't stun any doctors. I brought up withdrawal in context of discussing tolerance- primarily interesting the mini-withdrawals which can apparently start as the aforementioned tolerance developes. And regular withdrawal, for I find it curious that even after total tolerance to the therapeutic benefits of clonazapam develops, real withdrawal still occurs. And sudden withdrawal from clonazapam, a benzo/anticonvulsant, brings on danger of seizures, even in people who have never had a seizure before. It's then particularly important to taper off, not quit cold.
