Does Intake Of Clonazepam For Anxiety Cause Any Side Effects?

Hi, I have been taking clonazapam, 0.5mg 3 times a day for 9 years for my anxiety but my new doctor doesn t want me to take it anymore because he said that it is bad for my liver. How does a doctor usually wean a patient off of this medication? Thank you!
