Why does this happen when you tamper off clonazepam?!

Tapering off of a benzodiazapine like clonozapam isn't easy, and it can be dangerous. You should do this through a program/treatment. Be sure you don't go cold-turkey, it can cause a seizure. Klonopin, xanax, ativan, and the benzos were designed as anti-seizure meds and were converted to anti-anxiety meds. They are rather powerful when you've been taking them for more than 2 months consecutively.

Klonopin's a powerful drug. You're probably experiencing withdrawal; even if you're tapering off slowly you can still have some withdrawal symptoms. If this keeps up for more than a few days see your doctor; withdrawal can be dangerous.

Besides going to your doctor, all you can really do is stick it out. Try to stay calm; panicking will make your symptoms worse.
