I don't mean to hijack your thread at all but I am also trying to taper off of clonazepam currently (with my doctor's support). I find it difficult. I always rationalize taking clonazepam by saying I need it because I have anxiety. But intellectually I know that I'll feel more energetic without the med, clonazepam. I know there are other strategies towards managing anxiety but I haven't found any that are consistent yet.
