HELP! Advice on large amount of VALIUM/DIAZIPAM withdrawal!

I think I'm steady at 1mg/day lorazepam now. Some days I take extra for stress, but I can take only my 1 mg dose at night and sleep pretty good. The PAWS is definately evident but manageable. Just some depression and anxiety.
I still have a way to go, but 1mg is worlds better than 8mg/day.
 
I was in the same boat as you about 200 mg a day and in rehab they detox you first. They put me on phenobarbital but it made me dizzy so I was put on 20 mg/day clonazepam. Went down to I think 4mg/day after 3 weeks.
Hope this is helpful I was withdrawing from alcohol as well.
 
On 8mg now as could feel the drop at 12 so had to stay on it for longer but getting there lol
 
Thats great news sindy, condering the amount you were on just a few months ago. Stick at it and all the best for the future?
