Vesper, The Klonopin withdrawal was much worse than Ativan for my daughter. She took Ativan, 1 mg every night for six months and had no withdrawal. She just stopped taking it. With the Klonopin, withdrawal was terrible and seemed to last for weeks. Her doc said that Klonopin tends to cause a psychological addiction (because it is so fast-acting) that he doesn't see as often with Ativan.
