> Ok, what if a person took 2mg a day of clonazepam for 2 weeks, then cut down to 1mg/day for 2 weeks, then took none for a week or 2, then took 15mg at once, then one or 2 a day for about a week, then took 20mg at once. This is obviously abuse and the reason to stop.

No need to taper in your specific case. Go ahead and stop cold turkey. (I am NOT a doctor)
