Clonazepam - How should I stop taking this?

Coming off benzos is difficult but it can be done. You have to taper very slowly after taking klonopin for so long. You are not on a high dose, but it's been a long time. You need to break just a little piece off the clonazepam taking just a little less each day. You will feel the anxiety, restlessness, etc of detox. Not much to keep that from happening. But don't cold turkey, it can be dangerous. You can have seizures, electric shock syndrome, etc from benzo w/d. If you find that you just can't do this then I would recommend seeking professional help. Let us know how you are doing. You will receive lots of support here. Good luck.

You tried to taper off 50% of your dose after eight years. That is way too much. Break off the smallest piece you can. Even get a single-edged razor and do it. Don't cut back by anymore than 10-20% at a time. If you are tapering properly you will feel very few w/d symptoms. Be prepared for this taper to take a long time if don't want to suffer.
