I am currently on 1 mg of buprenorphine twice a day and 7.5 mg of diazepam in the morning 5 mg in the afternoon and 7.5 at night sometimes we’ll take .5 to 1 mg of Xanax so trying to switch over to just as a pan. I’d say no higher than 25 mg a day tops. I also take a few other meds, but I’m not trying to taper those. Does anybody have a suggested taper plan and in what order to get off of these two medication’s? I’m working with a doctor so they have a few ideas, but I’d love to see what the blue light community has to say. Peace and love.

You seen the Ashton manual for the benzos?
Probably cut out the alprazolam first. Stick to the diazepam. Follow Ashton protocol n cut diaz slow n steady. Once it's done and you feel stable you can work on the bupe.
How long you been on benzos?

definitely viable way but I'd cut diazepam after bupe, you could maybe take a bit of extra diazepam on some days bupe wds peak after cutting the dose if needs to be. days 2-4 probably. And benzo wds could take quite a while and it sucks to taper off bupe while still suffering of that.
