Hi Abby,
The Ashton method seems to be the least cruel withdrawal approach if you actually use the time-lines and taper increments she suggests in her literature. She (and I) would recommend using diazepam as the taper drug as opposed to clonazepam, due to the longer half life which makes for smoother transitions from one dose to the next. She has treated many patients who were on MUCH higher doses than you for even longer periods, and many of them had good benzo free outcomes. Good luck to you.
