Generally tapering by 25% of the dose the 1st week and then 10% of the dose per week until stopped. You may need some help from your pharmacy adjusting small doses…. So basically over 8 weeks…

Clonazepam can be very addicting. I would follow your Psych who knows you and all other meds you are on. Go to Drugs.com and read about it and do a drug interaction check with all other meds and supplements and OTC stuff. Good luck.
