I have taken clonazepam for 25 years. I was doing very well on 1mg 3xday. Now suddenly everyone wants me off it. I am down to. 5 twice a day and hate it. I don't understand why if something has helped me for 25 years with no side effects that suddenly it's a problem. Are you getting off for a reason or just because they suddenly want you to? Do it very slowly. I had a doctor try to take me off fast and I ended up falling and shattered my elbow and broke my arm in 2 places. After surgery I was put back on clonazepam. Did fine for 3 years and now my new doctor wants me off of it again. So I advise doing it very very slowly or you will suffer needlessly. Mine cut a half a pill at night but told me to try. If I could not do it try several times a week instead of everyday. Then in three months we reevaluate and try for cutting half a pill out as much as possible. So do it slowly even if it takes a year. Good luck.
