Curious if others have had a simmilar experience.

I've been on klonopin for 8 years, was put on them when I as 16 by my PCP to treat a severe panic disorder. I was taking somewhere between 2 to 4 MG daily for about 3 years before going to a psychiatrist who told me I needed to get off of them. Since then I've been very slowly tapering. Around 2 years ago now I began taking the taper seriously and wound up getting down to 0.125mg daily over the course of about 6 months (was on 1mg daily at the start of the 6 months). To make a long story short, I felt so terrible at .125 that I had to relapse and go to up to .5 to make life bearable again. It took a little bit but I started feeling normal again. I went back to school started working, and since then I've done very slow reductions, useally decreasing by half a pill over the course of 6 months or so. I've now finally made it back to a dose of .125 and am on week 10 of that decrease. I've felt pretty nauseous and anxiety has been higher along with pretty bad brain fog. This is Not even remotely as bad as it was years ago, but I am still worried it'll get worse. Has anyone else done this where they decrease this slowly? I'm also curious about hearing from people who were teenagers when they became dependent on benzos, and how things have turned out.
