Tapering off of .5 Klonopin

My doctor prescribed me Klonopin 1mg 2 times a day, but I only ever took 1mg in the morning. About 5 months ago I switched to .5 mg 1 time a day in the am with no problems.  
What is the easiest way to taper off the .5 mg. I don't need Klonopin anymore. I run 3 miles a day, meditate and eat well. I take no other meds except vitamins

Thanks

I came off of it about three years ago and I just did it fairly slowly.  I talked with my doctor about it and consulted with her and expressed my concerns.  In my opinion, as long as it is a slow taper, side effects are mininmized...just ensure you do it under medical supervision.
