Does anybody here know if the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix offers the Ashton Method or similar slow tapering methods for Clonazepam? I have been taking 1 mg daily at bedtime since 2006. I have always taken it as prescribed, never abusing it . . . .but it sure abuses me when I try to stop. A doctor recently recommended a quick taper that had me quite messed up (dissociation, intense anxiety, etc) after 5 days. Another doctor, with whom I have an appointment in two weeks, recommended that I resume the 1 mg per day. While this new doctor has good reviews with long tapers, I'd still kind of like to know what is available in Phoenix and other parts of AZ. Thanks!

I am not in Phoenix, but a good addition psychiatrist should be able to put you on a slow taper using Valium. Ask your insurance company for some one who specializes in this.

That was the route I went and it worked great
