What is the best way to taper off Klonopin?

Hi everyone I’m new here too. I have ben taking .5 MG of Klonaopin as part of a “drug cocktail” for about 10 years. I really would like to get off this so I can think clearly again. Does anyone know how slowly I need to taper this? Its such a small dose and only at night. At first I thought I could just stop but now I’m getting worried reading all these comments. I stopped drinking with no issues aside from craving sugar and its been over a year with no issues so I do feel like I’m in a good psychological position to stop? Thank you!!

I took Klonopin for years, when I moved to NY 2 yrs ago the doctors here were wanting to get me off it, I got tired of that so decided to wean myself off it. I too was taking 0.5mg each morning. I don’t remember exactly how I did it but it was very gradual. By the time I stopped I didn’t really notice any difference. I was also taking Venlafaxine for depression which also helps with anxiety, which may have made it easier.
I hope you are doing well.

I have also been taking .5mg of klonopin at bedtime along with a small dose of trazodone and small doses of lexapro and wellbutrin in the morning. I am 70 and have some underlying conditions. I am worried if I get covid as both trazodone and klonopin are on the list to cut back or temporarily stop taking while on paxlovid. Of course you can't stop suddenly taking these meds so I am considering trying to slowly taper off the trazodone and klonopin. Of course only one at a time. Therefore I will be following this thread. Also has anyone taken either trazodone or klonopin while taking paxlovid?
