Long Time Klonopin User starting to taper again

I have taken klonopin for many years for insomnia and anxiety and have attempted to taper before and when I got down to below .25 mg and discontinued I spent three nights without sleep and ended up in emergency room. I have currently cut to approx. 1.25 mg of klonopin and have held at this amount for the past week.  I saw the Lisa Ling program the other evening and saw that one of the participants in the program was able to get a liquid form of the benzo so she could taper at the micro gram level. I would sincerely appreciate any information on obtaining the proper micro-gram scale and how to find a practitioner who would prescribe klonopin in liquid form or whether I could crush the pills when I get down to the .25 gram amount again and place powder on the scale. Any advice would be much appreciated.
