What is the best way to taper off Klonopin?

Hi, definitely have someone help. I see a naturopathic doctor for this. I’m doing it now. I have been on this drug since my mom passed in 2012. I take two, 0.5 mg at bedtime. I honestly think it does nothing, but it has come down to mind over matter.
She believes it has to be extremely slow and I need to take a lot of B vitamins in her process. I’ve already been on b12 injections for years and their is b12 in my multi vitamin. I added a b complex. So, I’m still in the first 90 days of taking half of one pill. If I’m comfortable after 90 days and she’s not sure I will be I can go to one pill 0.5 at bedtime for 90 days and keep on a 90 day plan of cutting back.
She said everyone is different so I need to listen to my body. So far so good. I just want off this drug. Best of luck. I’m 67 if that helps and weigh 135. Blessings…Joanne

Good morning Joanne,
As long as you’re not having withdrawals I’d stay on your current regime.
Sounds like your doctor is on top of her game. Slowly is the best way to reduce chances of withdrawal.
Although slowly doesn’t work for everyone. If memory serves someone on connect was taking around one half of one percent of Klonopin and still suffering significant withdrawls.
I wouldn’t take B vitamins, or any vitamin indiscriminately. They come with there own risks.
I hope your not adding them without your doctors advice based on blood tests showing your deficient. Although vitamin B toxicity may be unlikely it is possible.
Best of luck to you,
Jake
