Valium - 1mg every two weeks

[[mi...]]

According to the Ashton Manual we should be able to tolerate a drop of 10% each week, but what happens near the end ? There will come a point where 10 % no longer is possible. The final jump will always be 100 %.

From my experience....

 

    withdrawal symptoms continue to decrease in intensity as I reach lower and lower dosage.

 

In marathon, the last 5 meters could be the most tiring.

 

But in tapering, the first 3 meters are the most difficult.

 

 

The final reductions could be 30%, 50% and the very last will be 100%.  But symptoms are practically negligible.  And 10% reduction of the poor tiny bit of that naughty drug is difficult.

Hopefully by then the doses are so low it makes less of an impact. My last cut was quite large and the next one will be 25% and so on until I jump. The last cut wasn't anything new, just same ole syxs. Don't think it will matter now. Who knows. And it's got to be done this way (unless you daily taper down to vapors) so there really isn't another option. Maybe hold longer if the cuts are rougher.
