A member asked:

Can i taper from klonopin .5mg daily, safely in 3 months time? been taking it for a very long time, but always at a small dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Surely, under the supervision of a physician, this can easily and safely be done, and does not require any extreme interventions.
