How long after my last dose of Klonopin?

Is it common to be withdrawaling 3 days after my last and final taper dose of Klonopin or Clonazepam?

I tapered for 3 months, now i'm sweating and feel sick and sore like i was while i was tapering, how long can this last? Personal experience answers or knowledgeable ones only please.

Update:

actually catamarnier or whatever, klonopin is physically addictive and has similar withdrawal that heroin and other CNS depressants have. Klonopin is extremely addictive, produces tolerance and dependancy - also, the doctors i saw said if i went off it cold turkey i could have experienced a seizure. Also, Effexor is an anti-depressant...not an anti-convulsant anti-anxiety like klonopin...

    Congratulaitons!

    You don't say how high your last doses were and how long you were at that dose. But you will be free.

    Klonopin has a relatively long half-life in the body though. Some benzos can take up to a full year to completely dissipate from the cells.
