You have to find a psychiatrist who will help you taper off. I’ve been taking clonazepam for 30 years. We recently moved from Vermont to Pittsburgh. For 22 years in Vermont my PCP kept renewing my prescription. Now suddenly I’m in a system that insists that I have to get off it. I’m 73 years old and I have CFS along with many other health issues. I’m on a quest to find a psychiatrist who will let me keep taking it. At my age it would be sheer hell for years. I refuse to go through that. You can’t do it yourself.

Also, I am not in “sheer hell”. It actually went pretty smoothly.

I’m 75 and just came off of tests ling use of klonopin. I used the Ashton Manual and did a water taper. You can do it if you do it very slowly. I figured I wanted to do it on my terms before I got forced off. You are already facing that prospect. It seems you need to seriously consider tapering before someone just pulls you off.
