A member asked:
What is the safest way to taper off of 3 mg of klonopin (clonazepam) a day. this has been the dosage for years.

Very gradually: This is something that should be done very gradually especially since you have been on it for many years, you need to avoid withdrawal symptoms, this is best done under the supervision of a physician. Good luck.

Very very slowly: Abrupt withdrawal can cause seizures. Speak to your doctor about a long taper withdrawal schedule. Good luck.
