Now I'm in the position where I need to wean back off so I can go back to taking it PRN at the lower dose. Every time I try to lower the dose, within a day or two, I get depressed, irritability, anxiety, agressiveness, etc. So it is something I just have to work through.
Not everone develops tolerance or side effects or withdrawal or anything like that.
Sorry about that. 
Ignore me.

You don't need to apologize for having an opinion, but if you're in an "anti-benzo" mood that doesn't mean you should go posting a bunch of negative benzo info. Like was said, post to sources so we can evaluate if they have any merit. There are entire groups out there that think that benzos are the spawn of the devil and are responsible for all of their life problems.
As far as your taper, are you doing a slow, gradual taper like 10% a week? Klonopin can be tricky to taper off of due to the .5mg pills being the smallest widely available dose.
