After 10 helf lives it would probably be pretty much undetectable under most circumstances.

I am not sure about the half life post I do know Klonopin does not build up in your system like Xanax does that is why they give them to people that take any kind of Morphine because Xanax and Morphine mixed together can kill you I have known 2 friends that died this way. Also about the COLD TURKEY this all depends on the person. I personnally took 2 mg pins atleast 3 times aday for about a year until I got arrested about 4 months ago (for other reasons beside Klonopins) and I have not taken any since and have never had any side affects
