For 3-4 months Ive been tapering off Xanax, starting around November, I went from crazy amounts of 20mg a day all the way down to 1/3 a bar once every 3 days which is about 0.66 mg if I'm correct. Starting mid January I've switched to Valium (I was able to go about 3-5 days without taking any Xanax dose before feeling withdrawals) Ive started taking 10 mg for twice a week, then the following I've started taking 5mg twice a week. I've broken the 5mg half of the Valium into 3 parts which if I'm correct is 1.66 mg for each 1/3? So this is where I finally gotten stuck, I can only go 3 days and no more before I have to redose with 1.6 mg. If I try to push it past the 3rd day and go 4 days without redosing, I start waking up shaking, but it eventually stops after I get up and move a bit, if I continue to lay down the shaking takes alot longer to stop. I also get this really small weak chest pain (barely noticeable unless I focus on it) but it also goes away when I get up aswell. At this point I kinda break mentally and just feel like giving up because i start thinking I cant beat it. But for some reason when thoughts of relapsing comes to mind I ignore it and continue with the tapering just for the very reason im tired of being dependant on benzodiazepines. Before i started taking Xanax I did have really bad anxiety untill I started taking it. Anyways any advice you guys can give me to get through this thing once and for all? Should I continue taking 1.6 mg a few more weeks so my body can get use to it? I was thinking this is probably why, and maybe I should also try to bite off half of the 1.6 mg so that I'll be taking 0.8 mg which is a really low dose and maybe my body won't recognize I'm even taking Valium anymore. I was also told once I get to about 2mg of Valium, there's really no chance of siezures and from this point on it's just a mental game. So should I go as planned or should I stop redosing and go through it? The main reason why I haven't stopped is because I don't want to risk of having any seizures and want some people to confirm that I'm at a low enough dose that seizures are out of the picture now. Thanks for any advice.
