Title: 25M — ~1 month daily clonazepam (2–3.5 mg). Taper or cold turkey?

I’m 25M. I’m physically addicted to tapentadol and psychologically hooked on the feeling of clonazepam. I have easy access to both. Before this, I’d only used Xanax and Valium occasionally. They never did much for me, but clonazepam felt very effective.

I had zero benzo tolerance before starting. For the past 30–40 days I’ve been taking 2–3.5 mg clonazepam daily (maybe one day off). It started recreationally and I never needed benzos before this . Right now I have ~16 mg clonazepam left. Would it be safer to taper with what I have, or could I cold turkey given the relatively short use? Benzo withdrawal scares me, so I’m trying to understand what to realistically expect.
