How to stop taking clonazepam 0.25 mg?
I experienced physical symptoms of anxiety without mental symptoms. Since taking medication, I feel perfectly fine. I am confident about stopping clonazepam; I have been taking it for three weeks and want to stop now because I don't want to develop a dependency.
Very valid point. Clonazepam is a class of drug which cannot be stopped abruptly. Please consult your treating psychiatrist once to slowly taper down your medication, after assessing the need for it.
