littlechez looking for a DR.

Want to start taper off .5mg clonazepam, been on for 11 weeks for anxiety (GAD and OCD) and insomnia, also on 30 mg mirtazapine (Remeron) and 25gm Trazadone for insomnia. Dr. won't help me as he says insomnia will come back. Need help to taper clonazepam and to FIND A DOCTOR in my area Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Does anyone know of a doctor willing to help devise a taper schedule?
