@frouke The longest acting benzo I know of is clonazepam and it takes a long time to ramp off of it, but I've dropped usage dosage pretty dramatically a few times and felt no adverse effect except after a couple of days I would start to feel antsy and jittery again, like the olden days. I finally just gave up and felt I didn't have the motivation or concern about side effects from taking the clonazepam (now about 10 years on it) to stop it after all. I feel the best about not fighting the possible anxiety and the clonazepam works just fine for that. Just ask the doctor casually about changing over to clonazepam and you will be satisfied with it.
