I have been on klonopin for just under 3 months, taking .25mg per day, and I am ready to stop, as my anxiety is under control after my CBT. Any suggestions of tips from anyone who has successfully tapered off their medicine?

Hi Maybel and welcome!

If you are only taking .25 mg once a day...then you will have no problem simply discontinuing your daily pill.

At such a low dose and for that short term of treatment, you should not experience any physical withdrawl.

Well done on completing your CBT! You are taking the right steps to manage your needs for feeling your best!

Yes this is easy.

I was on 1.5 mg of Clonazepam per day. They had me come off it 0.25 mg every two weeks.

You should just be able to drop the dose from 0.25 mg to zero. If it gives you problems, just cut the pill in half for two weeks, then drop.
