I have been on about 15 to 20 mgs of Valium daily for about 3 months and about 6 mgs klonopin for the last week. Will I be ok to stop cold turkey? Would clonidine do the trick if any withdrawal? Any help would be appreciated. I have kratom also if needed. Thanks.

You could taper the klonopin first. Maybe try calculating what 10% would be and then taper that amount every two weeks. For me, I didn't even feel withdrawal until two weeks so I had to hold for three as klonopin for me was much longer lasting. Since you have been on klonopin less time and because it is more potent, and some say harder to taper, I would suggest tapering that one first. If you aren't sure how to taper it, you could look into liquid tapers using whole milk as the liquid you mix with. You could also cut pills in halves and quarters but that doesn't always work as well. And at some point you will be cutting a much higher percent as your dose lowers.
