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.

A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed for every patient.In addition, detailed mental status examination is also recommended for every case to make a diagnosis and management of the case accordingly.
Next Steps
Why and when the treatment was started is not clear.
Tapering of the drugs should be done under the supervision of a mental health professional.There are chances of relapse of the disorders if treatment is not given for a prescribed time.
