Clonazepam Tapering 3rd time.

Hello I am here to get an advice from the people who suffer with similar problem. I  made cold turkey withdrawal , ( no doctors , no one forced me) because of the problem with law, crazy , morbid behavior. Kleptomania, aggression. Spending all my money. Living on streets. I spend bedridden for the 7 long months. Until delirium left me. All started from a normal doctor advice to take 0.25 mg clonazepam.. I took 0.5 next day. I was running around like a drunk, annoying people in supermarket. Etc. Next day I tired 2mg. Then I gone. Until the box expired. Maybe whole box 150 0.5mg pills in 20 days, I sniffed . Added to juice , cola , redbull, , , I left smoking when I was 19. I started smoke 3 packs per day. Annoying people on streets asking at. The middle of night 3.00 am for cigarettes. That is my story. 7 miserable month Cold turkey. All symptoms possible. From benzobelly. To head explode syndrome, voices. Hallucinations. Slept for 20 minute per day . Healed in 2 years. Depression hit me once again in 2021 ( 2 years after cd. I took one 0.5. I wrote on paper what rather live in moment , then suffer for a long long time. 0.5 was enough for me that time I completely gone. 2 lost smartphones. Passport. Credit cards. Injures from all sort of weird traveling and running from paranoid to regular police.  All months in horrible hazardous blur. Here I am back ... 2022 August cold turkey .... sleeping 0 hours 20 days... melatonin. Magnesium. High doses of potassium chloride ( intravenous) to stop my heart rate. 21 day fail ( I will continue after getting approved)
