that should not be an issue, .5 clonazepam even is a small dose, the first anxiety medication i was on was klonopin in early 2005, i was on .5mg 3 tims daily
.125 is very low, that should not have much of withdrawl but if you have anxiety badly i would just stay with .25

hi. benzodiazepine tapers that slow, the gradual...should be -less- likely to trigger problems. its when you've been on high doses and you're making bigger cuts that things can get ugly (usually...everyone is different, of course...).
I'm glad your doctor is doing things so slowly. if you do end up having problems, a switch to valium or Librium (at an equivalent dose) and then a taper off one of those can sometimes be easier to tolerate.

There's a good chance that you won't have a problem. But if you do, take it much more slowly.
Here are some slow withdrawal schedules for benzos:
