If you were able to identify the issue last year and the same problem arises, then it is almost certainly the same issue given that you were redirected back to a problematic test.
Half-life of elimination is variable for clonazepam, anywhere from 17-60 hours. At the low end of the spectrum, a drug with a 17 hour half life would take 85 hours to clear roughly 95% from your body. At the high end, it would be 300 hours, so almost two weeks.
I'd also add that the office threatening to withhold your prescription for a benzo is a dangerous precedent given that acute withdrawal can precipitate a seizure.

Thank you. Trying to explain this to the nurse at the office today made me feel like I was bashing my head against a brick wall. I was trying not to lose my patience with her, but she was treating me like some scumbag that was filling my script and then selling the pills.
Tomorrow hopefully I can talk to the doc, or someone else that will actually listen to what I have to say.
