A member asked:
Hi, i am 6 weeks pregnant and have been taking klonopin (clonazepam) for the past 2years/ 1/2 mg x3 a day, what is the safest way to taper off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to doctor : The safest thing to do is to return to your regular doctor ASAP and the doctor can prescribe a scheduled taper. Given how long you've been on the medicine perhaps going down by one dose every week will be safest but it needs to start soon as benzodiazepines like clonazepam can affect the fetus.

Hello, how can I safely taper off 0.5 mg Klonopin? I used to take 1-2mg per day for 10 years. Two months ago, I cut down to only 0.5mg but did it so fast that I did experience intense rebound anxiety/panic attacks. I remain on 0.5mg 1x a day. Thanks
