Help Getting Off of Klonopin

You don’t mention how old you are and I am sorry the surgery went horribly wrong.
I don’t feel the medication has put a veil over my eyes and I have had conversations with my PCP. Unlike so many PCP’s that are running away from prescribing it she actually encouraged me to stay on it. After 30 years and at my age I don’t want to go through a painful withdrawal. One post said it took him or her six years to get off it. That would make me 80 years old.
Do you know of any way to get off it without suffering terrible withdrawals? If so I am all ears.
Do you think the opioid epidemic has all the doctors running scared? I have never heard of anyone overdosing on Klonopin. Have you? Also why does everyone on this site focus on Klonopin when there are so many other benzo’s out there?
Like I said my PCP for the last 20 years has a practice comprised of only senior citizens and she is careful not to prescribe it to anyone with a drinking problem.
Just looking for answers.

I will gather my thoughts and give you all the responses tomorrow the best that I can to explain my situation without hopefully not overwhelming you. Give me 24 hours and I will explain everything.

I'm 54 years old
