Benzos Coming of phenazepam

He has a 1mL syringe, so dropping in increments of 0.1mg will work well, as I suggested he do

Thanks, how fast should I drop increments? Every week.

 

[tricomb]

I would try to wait at least 2-3 days between dropping, the long-half life should work in your favor this way.

Down to .5 twice a day. Gone through inner hell but feel stable now.

Going down!

Nice man, here's a tip.

When you're ready to reduce 0.5mg/day BID -----> 0.4mg/day BID (twice daily)

Day 1: Dose 0.5mg AM, 0.4mg again PM
Day 2: Dose 0.4mg AM, 0.4mg PM, giving time to adjust to the lowered doses, until you're ready for the next decrease,

Stay at 0.4mg/day until you're ready for the next dose reduction to 0.3mg/day BID:

Day 1: Dose 0.4mg AM, 0.3mg PM, giving time to adjust to the lowered dose, until you're ready for the next decrease,
Day 2: Dose 0.3mg AM, 0.3mg again PM, stabilizing at 0.3mg BID until you're ready for your next dose decrease

Get it?

*Note:
BID= 2x Daily.
TID= 3x Daily.
QID= 4x Daily.

Thanks, that's really helpful. Given the 60 hour half life though, I'm worried wd will kick in in a week ... Thoughts?

Agh, did as suggested and now have palpitations which feel like a piston firing maniacally.
