I am currently in the process of withdrawing from klonopin. At first I tried too quickly - one night cut my dose in half (from .5 mg to .25 mg) per my pdoc's instructions, and the next night I had a bunch of mini seizures. When I took the klonopin again, they stopped. With advice from a fellow pbabbler (thanks, electricstorm!), I am now tapering down much more slowly with no ill effects. I thik that skipping that one night could definitely have caused the seizure, Maxime.
Also, lack of sleep definitely does lower the seizure threshhold.
Good luck, Maxime. I hope things settle down for you soon -
Mildred
