38 years on benzos I'm finally at the last taper and she's going to go slow I found a good Clinic with a supportive NP, therapy, peer support. At my worst they had me up to 10 mg a day of lorazepam I didn't realize that was truly sick. Down to 75 mg clonazepam per day. Thank you!

Yes, I know. sorry for startling folks! I read that tweet and thought my heavens, 75mg would overdose several of us with high tolerance! it is .75mg clonazepam, .25 3x daily for this period of time of my final taper. Thanks, Wren, for the clarification :)

Isn't lorazepam much "milder" than clonazepam? I admitted myself to a psych ward when 12mgs clonazepam couldn't calm me down and I had symptoms like slowness, and slurred speech, and I struggled to walk already.

It's a dose related issue when it comes to strength but the differences is that clonazepam has a much longer Half-Life meaning that it will stay in your system much longer and therefore better coverage for symptoms during a taper especially. I don't get any therapeutic results.
