New buddy

I am trying to get off Clonazepam but am having difficultly. I was taking 1-1.5 mg every night for over 20 years. I'm down to .75 but it is getting harder. It has been a very slow taper. I'm not sure how to taper from here... Thank you.

Hello RockyVII, welcome to BenzoBuddies,

 

It looks like you've made good progress, but many members find the lower they get in dose the more difficult it can be, so they slow it down even more.  What has your taper rate been so far?  We suggest reducing your dose by about 5-10% every couple of weeks but your symptoms should actually guide you.

 

I'll provide some resources to get you started but please let us know how we can help.
