Your psychiatrist is doing a very good job, in getting you away from alprazolam to something milder and then to something non-harmful. Kindly follow his/her advise. For your rheumatoid arthritis follow as per your rheumatologist advise. You can taper and stop clonotril, no issues. Ask your psychiatrist.
