I'm sorry going off Klonopin is so hard. I started tapering from 2 mg last August or Sept. but so far only have made is down .25 mg because by the time I was ready for another reduction my father had his stroke and by the time I was done grieving more instensely we were into the time of year I'm most at risk for mania. I think I'll probably go down .25 more either this month or next.
The thing that helped me the most with my little cut (but mostly with keeping that reduction and not using PRN klonopin at all since starting to cut the Klonopin) has been gabapentin. I was on a smaller dose (400 mg) and have gone up to 1200 mg plus 100-200 mg PRN and it really works for anxiety and sleep. If you haven't tried it it might be worth a shot.
I agree with Nammu, have you tried one of the anti-drinking meds or have you thought about an inpatient detox? I know nothing about either but just they are options I guess.
Just know I'm thinking of you and praying for you.
