After going through the details, it seems like the symptoms you are having are not due to clonazeapm (especially in such small dose of 0.5mg). It can be due to anxiety per se. But if you still wish to stop, it should be after evaluation from the psychiatrist about the current mental condition and status. Stopping should be gradual over 2 to 3 week
Next Steps
kindly consult nearest psychiatrist or on teleconsultation
