Hello. I am sorry about your difficulties.
Apparently it is not unusual for klonopin not to show up in urine drug screens. It is possibly your physician is not aware of this.
Do you know if a blood drug screen was even done?
Fortunately, abrupt klonopin withdrawal is less likely to cause seizures than other drugs in its class. However it is certainly still possible, so you are wise to be concerned.
Please make an appointment with your physician as soon as possible specifically to discuss the reason for discontinuing your medicine. Convey your concerns about seizures. It certainly does not sound like you are abusing the medication. I wish you the best.
