A member asked:
Dr. what is the lowest prescribed dose of clonazepam? 0.25 mg? is that also the dose to begin final taper generally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
0.5mg is lowest: Nice thing about clonazepam is with its long 1/2 life, detox is pretty easy. In a community setting, I'd probably cut the dose by 1 mg each step targeting your comfort and desired end date more than anything else. Say you're on 2 mg three times daily, we could decrease 1 mg daily and have you off the med in 7-10 days.
