L-theanine: It depends on why you're using the Clonazepam. L-theanine may help anxiety, but does not treat everything Clonazepam might be used for. It's also not a complete substitute for Clonazepam. If you've been on Clonazapam daily for 2 months and want to stop it, talk with your doctor about tapering. You could experience at least mild withdrawal symptoms otherwise.
