Brief Answer:
possible withdrawal symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
Klonopin may have some more siginficant withdrawal symptoms such as excessive saliva production, flu like symptoms or respiratory infection due to depresses immune system. so these issue smay cause mucous production. some other serious side effect related to mucous production has not been reported. So if this is only symptoms, you dont need to be worried,but if there is fever, excessive cough and chest pain then further work up is required to rule out klonopin-not-related issues. wish you good health.
