I came off 3 mg of clonazapam without too much trouble. I did a very slow taper - took me around 18 months. Slow is definitely the way to do it, and your Dr. sounds like they have a good schedule for you. You might want to google the Ashton Manual. It's an excellent resource for different ways of getting off benzos. I used one of their methods in my taper which was basically to cross taper me onto Valium, which I took while tapering off the clonazepam which pretty much prevented withdrawal and then i did a fast taper off the valium.
