I did want to mention that I've read that Klonopin and other medications in that class (known as the benzodiazapines) should NOT be stopped abruptly, especially if someone is prone to seizures. Don't stop it abruptly, and don't stop it without your doctor's supervision, if you do decide to taper it.

Yes, I dealt with the seizure thing not very long ago when I stopped Klonopin abruptly. There is a thread somewhere here about AD's & seizures, where I explained that one.
Guess I just need to do a little research about klonopin & ADD/ADHD.
Thank you, by the way, NO MORE RASH :-)
