A member asked:
If i have been on 1mg of clonazepam for 4 months,does tapering down to 0.5mg seem like normal protocol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: If you have been taking 1mg per day only the reducing to .5 mg for a few weeks is a reasonable way to taper your dose! However, it's important to discuss this with the physician who prescribed this for you to decide if indeed a dose reduction is really needed
