I got off of it completely in March after 4 attempts over the years.. the best way to get away from the beast is to taper down 25% every 2 weeks or every week which ever best for you.. that was the best with minimum side effects ..hope it helps!

Very slowly - take your time for your brain to adjust.

Never, ever abruptly discontinue Klonopin. Ever. Please google Ashton Manual by Dr. Heather Ashton. This is the correct way to taper off. Slowly. Approx. 5-10% a month, not 25%. You can try that way to start as you are on a very high dose, but you may not be one of the lucky ones. I hope you are. The medical community knows very little about long term benzo use beyond 3 months of use. It’s all Pharma driven. The UK is far ahead of us because they have national healthcare, which is not commercially driven. Don’t expect to get the correct info from your doctor/therapist. They simply do not know, weren’t informed and may cut you off. Read more info on benzodiazepine information coalition (benzoinfo.com).

Never go to an addiction rehab. They will Cold Turkey you. This is rarely an addiction. Very few people crave benzodiazepines, but your body will eventually develop tolerance and your doctor will often prescribe more or other drugs. BAD IDEA. CBT and many other life skills will help you deal with anxiety and depression. Benzodiazepines are NOT the safe drugs you think they are. Klonopin is actually the most potent benzodiazepine and causes the worst side effects, 1 mg is equal to 20 mg of Xanax. Ask your doctor about the new FDA black box warning on Klonopin and other benzos and tell him you’d like to taper off according to Ashton Manual if you don’t think they’ll cut you off.

I wish you the best. I’m not surprised that you weren’t apprised of this. Doctors simply do not know.
