Go verrrrry slowly (.125 mg every couple months) and you will do fine.

I was tapered off by ¼ very two weeks. Had been on one mg for 20 years due to GAD & insomnia. Doc added abilify as I was tapering. I ultimately wound up in a full blown panic attack that lasted a couple of weeks until my primary added ½ mg klonipin back. In the meantime, I found a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with panic disorder and severe anxiety, etc., and promptly put me right back on the one mg and advised me not to take abilify, which I had already stopped when the panic became so terrible. Finally, the panic abated. It was the worst experience of my life! I was terrified of my own 5 lb pups that I had for eight years. I was so jumpy! Couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t drive. It was horrendous. This was not my first experience being messed up by a doc’s prescription, but it was certainly worse than the first time! I’ve personally found private psychiatrist to be superior to PCP’s or community MH centers.

I am on 1 - 1.25mg Clonazepam and I am planning to get off it completely or at least to go to 0.5 tapering it 0.125 every month if I feel stable.

20+ years on klon. I became very anxious lately and I am not willing to go higher on benzos, so I will be buying a scale and start tapering slowly 10% at a time for as long as it takes.

I am on the same medication. Have not stopped taking it because I only take it once a day. But I applaud you, I don't know what you mean by weird?

I am not in US and I will be doing it on my own. Poverty and no money for docs. I think that 1mg/day of klnzpm is not a big deal to be tapered and stopped completely regardless of how I take it, ones a day or whatever ways. I just have to be consistent. The half time is 50-60 hours and this is why I made this conclusion.
I bought a scale 0.000g and I will be tapering it 10% at a time by shaving the pill. I have not established how long will it take me to go to the next step. If I feel stable I will move to the next step, but not for less then 3 weeks.
This is the plan. I am 100% sure that whatever I feel as "side effects" can not be worse than I full blown panic attack and I had hundreds of them and multi visits to the ER. Do not forget that doctors put us on this meds and most of them they do not even care to tell you what is the way back.

*** I went checked the person you are referring. to. Helping me "reclaim your life" ? What a BS.

Tapering is not so complicated.
1. It was prescribed for something.
Did did help or not?
NO - If it did not, you have to stop it gradually as I mentioned. 5-10% tapering. This is not like quitting alcohol, cigarettes or gambling where the only way is cold T.
YES - Why do you want to stop it and will you be able to function to manage your disorder or whatever problem you had ?

*** I just bought a scale from amazon for 10Euro that could measure 0.002g, but it has not arrived yet, so no feedback. If its not working I will use water a medium.
*** For me life is giving me more "side effects" then benzos. As long as I do not take more then 1.5mg/day I consider that I am on the safe side. I am determined to stop it because it does not work for me any longer.

Has anyone on here had any respiratory slowing with clonazepam. I have had two sleep studies that show a slight decrease in oxygen saturation but only for a couple of seconds for a few periods. Usually when supine. Does not happen on my side. I know it slows your breathing.

How long were you on it? 8 weeks is generally far too fast for ANY benzo withdrawal.

I could not read the chart, but that's ok, as I am klonopin and my dose is apx. 8 times stronger. So glad you are off it. It must be such a relief.
