Requires further: evaluation and review of your medications as well as a thorough medical workup for underlying illnesses.

Go lower slower: I recommend decreasing by no more than a quarter tablet (0.125 mg) - you can get clonazepam in 0.25 mg strengths where that would be half a tab - every 2-4 weeks. Some people are inordinately sensitive to benzodiazepines and have to be tapered slowly. While Sertraline might help the original anxiety, it will not treat the withdrawal. Go lower more slowly.
