Tapering off Benzo's?

Do you guys have any general strategies you use? I'm getting patients who have been on Xanax their whole lives and I have made it clear to them that I will no longer be continuing the medication as they are also receiving Opioids. A few of the patients have already complained and left the clinic as their PCP's would be more than willing to refill their medications. However, I have been trying to dose them on an equivalent version of Klonopin and taper 25-50% every 2 weeks. Am I being too... Tapering off Benzo's?
