Go very slowly Lamictal will help with seizures a bit but it may not be enough to prevent clonazepam withdrawal seizures. Honestly don’t start reducing the clonazepam without your doctor’s guidance. ---

Stopping quickly can trigger symptoms to suddenly return in full force and then some. Definitely do it slowly under a doctor’s supervision ---

Do you do any exercise for anxiety? Also slow taper off is wise. ---
