I've been prescribed clonazepam (2mg, muscle relaxant) for many years and i need to get off because of deteriorating health. what specialist would be best ? a different doctor answered 'a psychiatrist' but in my experience most don't have a clue.

It is a med that U-: -need to wean your self off of. Gradually decrease the dose over a month and your body will no longer crave it. By that I mean it's a med that is addicting for your body and withdrawal will happen if suddenly stopped. This should be a done under the care of your treating physician.

Clonazepam tapering: I commend you for your decision to let go off Clonazepam. I understand that you have not had good experience with the Physicians. Please find a good Psychiatrist for: • Diagnosis • Monitoring any withdrawal symptoms from decreasing Clonazepam, • Diagnosis of side effects • Management of side effects • Therapy for stresses of life.
