Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Klonopin helps improve muscles spasticity related to spinal disorders, but 2 mg is a high dose that may cause adverse effects and independence.
I think you should try lower doses ( 0.5 mg twice/ day for example).
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
