Brief Answer:
Please provide details of her symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. If possible please mention what kind of symptoms she is showing exactly?

Klonopin is Clonzepam and the drug is a benzodiazepine drug. The drug is having high abuse potential and even after months of quitting the drug mild form of withdrawal symptoms are seen. This is also called protracted withdrawal. Drugs like Pregabalin or Gabapentin can be used to reduce these symptoms. These drugs help to reduce the symptoms like restlessness, fatigue, tiredness etc and are free of abuse potential. Please visit a psychiatrist for her evaluation and she would lead normal life after that.

Thanks, Please provide details in follow up question.

Take care
