A member asked:

Been on klonopin (clonazepam) for 8 months and slowly tapering. i'm at 0.25 mg/day now. does this low dose really have any affect or therapeutic need?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Its always best to taper Klonopin (clonazepam). Once you reach 0.5mg/day, you can safely stop it.
