Need help clonazepam taper

Hope

Hello, im 27 and this April i started taking 2 mg lormetazepam(20 drops of minias) at night before bed for insomnia, i started having burning in my skin. in july i also started 0.5 clonazepam in the morning(5drops of Rivotril) and 0.5 in the afternoon due to panick attacks and anxiety, and tricyclic antidepressant in the evening. In september 22 my doc cut off the 0.5 clonazepam in the morning and i take only the 0.5 in the afternoon, i was pretty good and i started to taper every 2 weeks cutting off 0.1 of clonazepam (1drop), i went to 2 drops for 1 week and had to come back on 3 drops due to severe panick attacks, i stayed on 3 drops (0.3) for 3 weeks and then i cut again to 2 but now December 1st i have severe withdrawal, the burning that i got usually in my arms and legs got stronger and now it hurst my face, its 2 weeks of this pain, i got strong panick attacks and went to the hospital. i have bad thoughts and cry a lot, shaking and a lot of withdrawal symptoms, i have a visit to the psychiatrist 23 December, but im struggling a lot. today i took my 0.2 of clonazepam as usual and another 0.3 after dinner, hoping the burn will fade away at least from my face, i cant stand it anymore so i plan to take 0.4/0.5 clonazepam till i see the doctor 23 december,first post, sorry for my bad english but i truly need help. thanks you very much.
