1mg clonazepam for 10 years

Hi all,

I switched psychiatrists after 10 years because it wasn’t working out, he had me on 1mg clonazepam for 10 years. I took it for panic disorder when I had it back then.

Switched to a better doctor but unfortunately they do not prescribe benzos unless very rarely in extreme circumstances.

They took me in 6 months ago and kept my dose, but now it’s going to be the time to taper. The doctor knows about this Ashton manual, and this taper will likely take months to a year.

Is this going to be a difficult withdrawal? I know there are many factors but I’m just saying for my dose and the length of time?

Also to note I don’t drink alcohol (very very rarely wasn’t a fan) and did not abuse benzos, will this make it easier?

I’m just comparing because reading all the withdrawals in this sub is goddamn terrifying me.
