Do you feel any wd symptoms yet?
I don't even take diazepam daily and been having lots of anxiety since my last dose on monday.
Just took 2.5mg so i can get off it easily and give my brain more time to adapt.
You're stronger than you think. Use grapefruit, theanine, mindfulness techniques, beer is good in a pinch, etc. If you want to not take it, its very possible.
I wouldn't call it WD, I know things like loud roommates and annoying mgmt at work would piss me off less if I took some, but for all I know I'd be the same level of tense if I had never taken any valium. Right now its Friday afternoon, I last dosed 5mg Sunday night. I did eat a grapefruit during the week which may have helped the metabolites stay around longer.
I definitely havent taken a break this long for over a year, but at one point I was taking 2.5mg twice a day instead of my usual 5mg and occasional 10mg. I drink a lot of beer on the weekends typically and often go 2 days without any. Its been a long time since I took a large amount (like 25mg+ for me). I have been RXed since I think December of 2013.
If I said I didn't want take valium right now it would be a lie, but I'm doing my best not to, and I will probably take my normal 5-10 when I do dose again. It really does help me and its long half life and relatively weak strength compared to something like clonazepam is why it is definitely my preferred benzo.
On topic, I'm for sure sober, or even below that, but my other option is to start drinking and I really dont feel like lowering my self esteem by blowing cash on booze right this minute. Probably later today (since I'm fucking bored to death and I hate it) but not now.
