taper

Well...here I am with a question about my taper.  I have been tapering off clonazepam very very slowly for a couple of years.  I am down to .25 mg per day.  (1/2 half tab two times per day)  This is the smallest wafer form available. It really is not supposed to be split, but my doc prescribed it this way. Can I just quit now, without side-effects???

You have come this far so why not try taking 1/2 tab once a day for a week and then stop.
How are you feeling now?  How did your doc recommend you quit?

I had to switch doctors and this doc wanted me off benzos.  He does not like them and thinks there are better alternatives,  I was taking 2mgs. a day and have very slowly tapered down to .25 mgs a day.  I have had some breakthrough panic attacks recently, but I am still pretty much under control with Celexa. (and Neurontin at night.)  Klonopin helped with everything including the chronic insomnia.  I still have sleep issues, but not too bad.  I took the Klonopin with Effexor originally.  Had to get off Effexor because of the insomnia.  Celexa seems better for me.  I have a couple days a month when I have General anxiety usually leading to a panic attack.  I don't want this to get worse so I am hesitant to take this last step in the taper.
