Hi, @harleneq - thanks for sharing your story with the clonazepam (Klonopin) taper. Sounds terribly difficult, especially the suicidal thoughts that led to a suicide attempt, and also the two heart attacks.
You may also want to check out the Connect Heart & Blood Health group, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/heart-blood-vessel-conditions, due to your heart history.
When you finish your clonazepam (Klonopin) taper, will your doctor be putting you on other medications instead? How are your issues with the thyroid, pancreas and liver being treated?

I’be been on clonazepam for over 25 years and have no interest in not taking it. I freely admit that I am not distracted by having any medical training, but have had experience with a lifetime of dysthymia and anxiety, and will gladly accept whatever intercession which may be available. I would take the medication. Dementia either occurs or it doesn’t.
