Postpartum Anxiety and depression
My doc prescribed me sertraline 50mg and clonezepam 0.25 on 2-12-23 for my postpartum anxiety and depression, sertraline has helped me a lot but I want to start tapering 0.25 clonazepam, my doc is still out of station, how do I taper clonezepam slowly so that the withdrawal don't effect my day to day life as I have a 2 months old baby and have to take care of him. Also I choose not to breast feed my baby and is feeding formula because I'm taking antidepressants, my baby is healthy and fine, kindly help me taper clonezepam.
