A member asked:
Been on .5 mg clonazepam once a day for 10 years, going to start tapering. how hard would you think tapering off this starting dose would be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clonazepam: It is hard coming off after that amount of time. Eventually you have to completely discontinue and at that time you will definitely have withdrawal which you will have to tolerate. Insomnia and anxiety will probably be the most likely. Good Luck
