Hello Mishal,
I read your post. I'm presently taking 4 mg of Klonopin per day, as a sleeping aid, in conjunction with an antidepressant. I don't have any plans to discontinue it yet and I'm not an expert. But after reading a lot of info on Klonopin, I do know that a dosage of 1 mg/day is NOT at all excessive. It sounds to me that your real problem is your doctor, who has a professional obligation to help you establish a reduction schedule. If he only cares about writing prescriptions, you should either be assertive with him and tell him what you want, or get another doctor!! I've read that Klonopin is one of the easiest benzos to quit. But I wouldn't want to guess how to calculate it without a professional opinion. The general rule is GO SLOWLY and NEVER go cold turkey. Hope this helps.
