Taper off Clonazepam

2024-06-26 17:55:04
I've been taking Clonazepam at a relatively high dosage of 1mg for the last 2 years and am physically dependent on it. Now knowing its side effects and about withdrawal, I want to get off it. I don't want any neurological or physical deficits. So, guide me how to wean off this benzodiazepine.

You can gradually taper it off by 0.25mg per week , but better to do so under the guidance of your treating Psychiatrist.
