Hi , you can develop dependency on clonazepam if used for long term . Options are to covert the dose to alternative long acting benzodiazepines and then to reduce gradually or the clonazepam needs to be reduced to half dose for 2 wks and then take half dose alternative days for next 1 week and stop.
