I second the advice given above.  Not only is it a bad idea because of the withdrawal symptoms to try to taper yourself or stop taking the Clonazepam abruptly, but it's also dangerous.  You could have seizures, among other things.

Please work with your doctor to come off the Klonopin properly.

Good luck!

Please get your doctor to help you ween off the conazepam. You can't prescribe it on your own, so don't try to ween on your own. Going from 2 to .5 is a big change. The drug is helpful when needed and weening is a process that may need to go very slow. Good luck...don't try to tackle the issue alone. God bless.
