tapering never got anywhere for me too...if i'd go .1ml less for a few doses, it'd start to creep up on me...and then after a day I'd have pretty nasty wd's, and need a normal dose. And then all bets were off :D I can't stress the phenibut/baclofen/pregabalin route enough....(but be careful with any ((or in my case all three at the same time :D)) of these, as they all have their own nasty wd's). If you have a serious 24/7 thing going, one of these meds can be a serious lifesaver. 1000x more effective than benzos.
