@beck80, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Getting off of Clonazepam is not easy, be proud of the progress you have made.

I have moved your question to an existing discussion,
- Clonazepam Taper: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/clonazepam-taper/

I did this so you can connect to the many others who are/have tried to navigate the very difficult terrain of getting off of prescribed benzodiazepines.

@beck80, have you been working on this taper together with the prescribing physician?

@beck80 I have been off clonazepam for 2 years after a very long time on 1 mg per day. It was very hard at the end. There are 0.125mg dissolvable tablets that are half of what you take now. I feel like even after 2 full years, my nervous system is still slowly repairing. I take Lunesta for sleep now and deal with anxiety in natural ways with diet and exercise.
