It sounds like you are averaging 1mg a day of Klonopin which is a low dose but it is a benzodiazapine and,, as such, must be come off very gradually. Benzodiazapines are very addictive and tapering must be done very regularly and slowly, preferably with a Doctor.

Please reference the Ashton Manual, (which is the gold standard) for getting off benzodiazapines.
It is online and it is free.
Best of luck to you!

Additional note: read up on benzodiazapines and addiction.
It is NOT illegal addiction, but all benzodiazapines have a black box warning on them. (please look up what this is).
I wish you the very best of luck on this.

Actually less than 1 mg a day. More like 1 mg every other day.

Just an fyi, I had several issues with just taking .5 mg daily and when I mentioned that it was a low dose to my primary, he said BS. He was not happy old sleep doc put me on this crap. But said .5mg is more of a standard dose, not low. May be low compared to what others are taking, granted, but many folks become dependent and have to move up their doses over time to get the same effect.
