@ellerchim First, condolences re: your husband. That's a tough loss.

I was on clonazepam for over 20 (clueless) years. I was ultimately able to find a nurse practitioner who was willing to prescribe for as long as I needed in order to get off of this relaxing poison. Having that support made all the difference and allowed me to pace myself. Speaking for myself, there was a big psychological component - but I was successful. Hang in there.

You are very lucky to find any medical professional to support you . I went thru so many, even my pharmacist I have known for or thirty year accused me of Dr shopping! So rude and ignorant. Had to change Insurance and could only go thru one Dr and he has been a blessing as far as keeping me my prescriptions going. And going slow is so important in getting off this poison. Not what I want to be doing as I get older. I wasted so much time after my husband passed. Lost him and lost myself with this drug. Thank you for your reply. Hopefully you are off of this . Twenty years is a long time. Thank you again.
