Hi, I am new here. I have been on Klonopin 1.25 for 10 years for myoclonic movement disorder. I developed tolerance about a year ago, but didn't realize it until this year. I have been tapering for the past 3 months and down to 1mg, right now. I am tapering with mild symptoms, but glad to find a reputable site with others tapering also.

Hi, @lizaa, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Since you said you'd been taking clonazepam (Klonopin) for myoclonic movement disorder prior to starting your taper, I thought you may also be interested in this Mayo Clinic information on myoclonus, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myoclonus/symptoms-causes/syc-20350459.
You mentioned that you developed a tolerance to Clonazepam (Klonopin) about a year ago. How did you and your doctor find out that you'd developed a tolerance?
