What is the best way to taper off Klonopin?

I am a US citizen living in the Philippines. Been here for 3 years. I am dependent on Klonopin at about 1 mg a day. In the Philippines, this drug only comes in 2mg tablets. I talked with my doctor about getting off the drug. I am currently splitting the 2mg pill into 1/4's which is 1/2 mg. I seem to be doing ok on 1/2 mg a day. My pill cutter won't allow me to cut any further, so my doctor said I will have to chop the 1/2 mg into a powder and take half the powder daily as my next reduction. I doubt this will be an exact 1/4 mg. My goal is to get to .125 mg and hopefully be off the drug. I am thinking about returning to the US for a few months to get as many 1/2 mg tablets as I can get that I can cut. This is all going to be a hassle and expensive. Any advice or words of encouragement?

Can you find a compounding pharmacy? Maybe they can help to make up a much smaller dose in more uniform amounts? Good luck

In the US, you can get clonazepam in .125 mg. foil packets. Have the doc prescribe it in that dose. Hope this helps.
