Im on prescription klonopin (clonazepam) 1 mg for 3 times daily. my doctor does not know how to wean me off of this. could you please help me wean off of this?

Klonopin (clonazepam): is a long acting benzodiazepine. I usually try to get people on a twice a day schedule and take away 1/2 a mg every two weeks. The idea is to minimize risk of withdrawal anxiety and seizures. Do your titration under a physician's supervision. Best of luck with this.
