Weaning off Clonzapam for Panic Attacks

So this past year since September 2021 I’ve been having horrible panic attacks that would happen (and still sometimes do but mostly only twice now) non stop. I was prescribed clonzapam to take 2 times a day everyday as needed. And I have been for MONTHS but I want to start weaning off because I’ve been feeling more better. And I’m at the point since I’ve Been feeling better I want to take them only when I need them so I guess I’m asking if anyone knows how I should ween off? Should I do like 1 pill and 1/2 a pill for a couple weeks and then 1 pill after that for awhile until I feel okay to do half a pill and then only take the meds when I need to or what?

You should talk to a psychiatrist about how to titrate off because I think it’s different for everyone
