    Hello, just a question that probably has been answered already. I take 1mg of Klonopin daily since a nasty shooting happened in my office 18 months ago. It stopped the wild nerves that were haunting me. I operate a 95’ commercial fishing boat and drive my own F350 towing ranch materials regularly for my own use. I’m getting my CDL, passed all 3 knowledge tests and headed to get my physical. Without anyone needing to provide me medical advice, would it be best to ween off of the Klonopin prior to the physical? My dr gave me a letter signed off to provide to the dr performing the physical, but I want to also be as smart and safe as possible. Will the Klonopin with the Drs note fail the physical? I’m starting the taper down regardless. I don’t drink nor any other substance, so tapering will possibly be slow. I’d like to get the license ASAP and am tapering over 3 months. Any advice? Appreciated:)
