Thank you for the encouragement and sharing of your experience. My withdrawal anxiety is the worst in the mornings. Every second morning or so, I take 0.125 mg clonazepam for withdrawal anxiety. (The smallest pill I could get is 0.5 mg which I break into four pieces.) Due to the long half life of clonazepam, it doesn't seem to be needed every morning.

I wouldn’t skip days on this medication.
I tapered off Klonopin with no withdrawl effects at all.
You should, in my opinion give your brain time to adjust to the new dose of course people are different but if you’re having any side effects either cut your dose or lengthen the time in between cuts. wouldn’t a side effect free taper be easier?
It is possible!!! Why not give it a try.
Take care,
Jake
