The Ashton protocol is very good for benzo withdrawl, transfer from your current benzo to an equal dose of diazepam or chlordiazepaoxde (very long acting benzos) and reduce by 1mg of diazepam or 2.5mg of chlordiazepoxide every 1-2 weeks.....the body wont notice these timy steps down, and whitdrawl should be painles
Clonazepam is high potency, 1mg is = to 10-20mg of diazepam, so make sure you get the diazepam doseage high enough.
Adding an SSRI or mirtazapine should help with the underlying disorder (or an anti glutamate drug as SLS suggests, or even both!)
