I used to also be hooked on it for anxiety reasons and fear of panic attacks. Rather than take it on a daily basis, you could try taking it only when you feel it's absolutely necessary. And don't keep it with you during the day, keep it somewhere else so you have time to think about whether you really need to take it or not.

I would highly suggest consulting your prescribing MD on tapering and possibly finding a non-benzo substitute for your anxiety. Thats the smartest thing.
But, if that isn't an option....go to bluelight.nu or something. google it. You will find people who have experience with things like this.

Speak to your physician before attempting to do anything. You never know which meds have what affects when combined with another.
Or if you truly want to do this on your own speak to a pharmacist in the local pharmacy. If you are going to continue to ween yourself off of the klonopins then you really need to have some basic input on what to sub with that wont interact.
Good job weening yourself off of it, although you will be able to notice a difference. your body will notice and will act as though it "needs" the klonopins. Whatever you decide to do or not do I recommend the weening to continue, though if you are serious about this the last thing you want to do is bounce back and forth such as "Oh today I will take a full dose and maybe a little extra and tomorrow I will take 3/4 the normal dose cause I want to quit"...You will naturally screw up your system by bouncing around..So just speak to a pharmacist or a MD about which other options are out there that you can take while weening from the Kpins.

As far as natural supplements that help with anxiety, I could tell you a few that are actually highly effective, non addictive natural supplements that help with anxiety/panic, but I'm telling you, you're going to get yourself into deeper shit by mixing GABA or 5-HTP in when you're already taking Wellbutrin. You're screwing around with your neurotransmitters and that can really make you nuts, literally.
No criticism or judgement, but be honest, are you playing pharmacist on yourself or is this monitored by a physician?

Been prescribed 2mg 4x/day and 1mg 3x/day plus 2 at bedtime for the last six years or so. I always just took as needed and have many times forgot to take for a week or 2. Sometimes had been taking more than prescribed, sometimes less. No noticable withdawal. Got quite a large stash now . . . so I would agree to keep filling the scripts, taper yourself off, then take as needed.Very handy for panic attacks, situations of severe anxiety such as before public speaking/staff meetings for me. Don't worry.
