Just a reminder:

You cannot stop Benzos quickly...they have to be tapered very slowly. Clonazepam has a very long half life in the body, so
consult the withdrawal sites for ideas about how slowly to
taper. It may take months to do so successfully, and expect
symptoms to escalate at times as well.

Klonopin comes in various dosage sizes than lend well to a slow taper.
A generic may not.

Quote:
Klonopin (clonazepam) is also available as an orally disintegrating tablet containing 0.125 mg, 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg or 2 mg clonazepam. Each orally disintegrating tablet also contains gelatin, mannitol, methylparaben sodium, propylparaben sodium and xanthan gum.
