> I would "chip" it or bite chips off it when you need it, if I were you. I've been on and off Klonopin over the past 10 years, too. I'm on 8 mg now, though I often forget to take that many. When I was off it completely, I admit, I did NOT feel like myself and social interaction was INCREDIBLY painful, I felt like people were looking at me like I had toilet paper stuck to my hair or something :p ....

Interesting. I actually feel really good today.My concern with taking small amounts of it would be that it would trigger some kind of withdrawal symptoms, which I have read in one or two places, but I am not convinced that it is accurate.
