Hi,
you'd probably have to taper off slowly from the Clonazepam while still using Ambien, then the taper off of Ambien shouldn't normally be that hard. Your Dr. could be right about getting away from these Benzo type drugs, as I'd presume the Lamictals for bi-polar,( though that's not clear from your post.)
My own bi-polar condition is severely agravated by the use of Benzo's and related drugs ( Ambien). I mean it's fine while the drug is active ,it's the withdrawal syndrome that agravates the situation. Also the combo of Clonazepam and Ambien seems a bit much, for me anyhows. Ask your Dr. about Gabapentin to aid sleep. it seems to assist withdrawals as well.
