Why are doctors anti-benzos? What about antidepressant dangers?

Hi Jim -
I have managed to get off lorazepam without much difficulty and am now tapering off clonazepam. So far I am taking three quarters of a 0.5 mg. tablet. So far so good. Soon I hope to go down another quarter tablet. The main thing I noticed with clonazepam was difficulty falling asleep but I started taking it earlier and that did the trick. My Dr. approved of all of this-he said just go slowly but don`t stop your antidepressant.
Best regards
Ainsleigh

How do you manage to cut your pills so small? I’ve been wondering about that. Or do you use a liquid form?

@ainsleigh- What was your original dose of Clonazepam that you tapered from and what antidepressant do you take?
I've taken 1 mg of Clonazepam for over 20 years now and am considering giving it a try to taper very sl......owly, but I've read in other posts that several have recommended while tapering to utilize some other perscription to assist? Wondering what your thoughts are on this? Jim@thankful
