Hi there. Welcome.

You are right, no one can tell you if/when you could have a seizure. Everyone's seizure threshold if different. If depends on how much/how long you have used a benzo and your unique brain wiring. Some seizures go unnoticed even....some are small...some are big. Some are short; others long. It's really best to be tapered with medical assistance...if not your psych Dr., then another physician. Even then...it's not guaranteed you won't have a seizure. Klonipin is a benzo too....so I don't know what the answer is here.

Now: will your psych. Dr. really lose respect for you if you go to him/her and ask for help with this? I really don't think it's a question of respect per se. Most of them want to help....bottom line.....and they do RESPECT honesty even if it's an honest confession on your part. Something to keep in mind. I hope this helps with your all or nothing mindset. Maybe it's time to toss that mindset to the wind and realize that it's not all or nothing when weaning off benzos.
