Yes and a pharmacist I today asked about tapering off clonazepam under a Doctor's supervision said to expect anxiety when tapering but to just distract yourself with TV or something. I know, it can be really tough but it took me 3 attempts to quits ciggies but I replaced it with exercise. I would suggest not underestimating the power of your mind to get off them and stay off them, tell yourself you don't feel bad quitting, you feel good and eventually, your body believes it! Best to you.
