So I've taken benzos daily for about 3 years. I got addicted originally because I abused Xanax during a hard time in my life. Flash forward 3 years, and I am down to 10mg of Valium a day (Equivalent to .5mg of Xanax).
Life is very depressing a lot of the time, and my cognitive abilities have diminished greatly. I know it's the Valium. It's time I get off this shit for good. I've got a goal, and I aim to complete it, and take my life back.
A lot of good has happened to me in the past year. I achieved a certification in the IT field, I've gotten a full time job, and finally have my own apartment. A lot of things have happened, things I thought might never come to pass.
It's time to get off this shit though. Benzos are great for occasional use, but my body is dependent on them, I take them to feel normal.
I was thinking of dropping 1mg every two weeks, until I'm completely off. I currently am on 10mg.
Is there anything that can help me while tapering? Keep in mind, I am prescribed Valium by a medical professional, so I'm not getting it off the streets or anything like that.
Just wanted to post this, because, well, I want someone to know that I'm through with this stupid fucking pill!
