I have been taking about 6 mg klonopin for about two weeks. Will there be any major wd effects?

And today is Wednesday. Can I drink socially on Saturday?

It's not a common outcome, but benzos are also anti-seizure medication, and can cause seizures.  I don't think it's actually going to happen, no, but despite the short time you've been on the drug you were on a much higher dosage than most people are especially when starting out, so I still say, better safe than sorry.  What have you got to lose by tapering off?

seizures even after only two weeks?

No, it's not a joke, that's a high dosage.  I would taper off slowly so you won't find out if there's withdrawal or not, and remember, quitting benzos abruptly can trigger seizures.  Better safe than sorry.

And trust me if everyone finds it no big deal and a silly question that has no real consequence, I'm completely fine and relieved with that

I'm assuming that 12 days of klonopin is a joke and warrants no response.
