If you can break the pill in half, you can start with 1/2 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet at night for one week, then 1/2 tablet twice a day for 1-2 weeks, then 1/2 tablet at night for 1-2 weeks then 1/2 tablet, three nights a week then take it as needed then quit. So it will take more than one month so it is safe and if you can tolerate. You can take 1/2 tablet as needed any time. Good luck.

First, find a new doctor, one that you trust and instills confidence. Secondly, work closely with this doctor to slowly achieve tapering of your clonazepam. This should be a relatively safe and uneventful process. Good luck.
