Hi everyone, I was hoping someone here could help...
After struggling with fucking benzis for about 2 years I have decided to make a proper attempt to get off them instead of some half hearted effort. I have been on them for just over 2 years.
Over the past couple of weeks I have given up drinking entirely (and I drank ALOT) and have reduced my diazepam from 20mg a day to 15mg (been on 15mg for the past week). I was thinking that I am going to lower my does to 12.5mg today and keep it at that for a week to 10 days, then reduce 2.5mg every 7-10 days until I am off it completely.
Is this a realistic plan? will I be likely to experience very unpleasant withdrawal effects? Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance/suggestions. I would really like to avoid a long, long taper if possible so any input much appreciated.
thanks guys.
