how to withdraw from low dose antianxiety drug clonozapam

I am on clonozapam for 3 years and started to withdraw in January 2011.
I am now on a very low dose 0.010 mg however I have a very painful and difficult
time to withdraw completely. !
I take a very low dose cipralex ,only 1.50 mg  but despite the addition of this
drug, I am experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I dont think we are allowed to tell you how to withdraw from meds, but I can tell you I spoke to my pharmacist when I went off effexor, and they were a great help. There are free programs out there that help people get off this stuff. Message me if you want the links. They do sell natural supplements but you do NOT have to buy them. Theya re really helpful.

I don't know what your beginning dose was when you started your taper, but you may have gone too quickly.  Consult with your doc about going back a little and starting from there at a much slower rate.  When I weaned off, I would taper slowly and when I felt discomfort, I would wait until I was ready for the next taper.
