I have been on 0.5 mg of clonazepam daily for two years is it safe to stop cold turkey? i am tired of this drug. i'm taking for panick attacks

Panic attacks: Do not stop cold turkey but ask your doctor for a plan to stop safely. Panic is seldom resolved by medication alone, try consulting a mental health professional who can help you uncover the causes of your distress and help you develop ways of managing anxiety more successfuly.
