Klonopin (clonazepam) taper: Working with your doctor, you could try decreasing by .25mg every couple of weeks. Sometimes withdrawal symptoms are experienced if decreasing more than 10% a week, but you and your doctor could start from the .25mg decrease and monitor your progress carefully. Good luck.
