What is the best way to taper off Klonopin?

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?

I continued taking 3.75 mgs. Valium per day and 5 mgs. Prozac per day when I had Covid in August and took Paxlovid. No adverse reaction. I did have to discontinue my statin drug.

Hi, I’m tapering off of clonopin A. because it no longer works for me and B. because if I get Covid I can’t take Paxlovid. I’m older and high risk. Pretty furious, but it is the only way I’m ever going to get my life back. I’m tapering by cutting 10% from last dose every few weeks. Modified Aston Manual suggestion. Let your body guide you. Buy a medical scale on Amazon and learn how to cut and taper. It’s pretty dangerous to go fast. You’re better off going slow and wearing a mask indoors for the bad months. Hopefully, the new trials for the remdesivir oral pill will pan out.

Let me know if you have questions. The math of cutting seems confusing at first.

Best,
C
