Can go slower...: You need to discuss this with your doctor, but since you were starting from the 0.5 mg strength, i would use the Klonopin (clonazepam) "wafer" which is the orally disintegrating tablet( or odt)and available as generic. It comes in 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125mg--very helpful for tapering. The pill is actually bigger than the tiny regular 0.5 tablet and if your fingers are dry you can cut it. Taper more gradually ....
