Hoping for Final Taper

I’m so glad I found this site.  I’ve been on Klonopin for about 15 years.  My peak dosage was 4 mg. per day (1 mg. x 4) and I’m now down to 1 mg. (.5 x 2).  This taper has been in conjunction with a psychiatrist over about a year.  Recently I moved to another state and am ready to go off Klonopin completely.  I haven’t found a psych doc here yet, so I’m grateful to have this site to gain support and also to help others while I look for a new doc for the final taper.  I hope. Would love to experience life again without benzos.
