What do you think about cutting 5 mgs now to see what happens?

Im currently doctorless but have some old 10 mg capsules so i dose 4x a day. Would it make sense to try and drop my 3rd dose to 20 and see how it goes? Or does that just seem crazy?

Hi Mo2, I thought you already tried that and it didn't work?  Another option is cutting daily.  If anything is going to work it is small daily cuts.

But how do I do that with no doctor to taper me? Or rx me the meds to taper with?

You need a doctor to write prescriptions, but that's all.  He/she doesn't need to be involved in the taper, in fact it is better if they are not IMO.

You have no meds to taper with mommy? Do you have access to future scripts?

Yes but dont know for sure if I can get them filled. So i called the american recovery center in pamona the guy told me that they would take me off my librium and i couldnt take melatonin what they would do is put me on a small dose of pheno for7-10 days put me on trazadone for sleep and then when I get out it's up to my psychiatrist what to do. Only ive filed a grievence against my county p-doc and he said he had been on benzos before and methadone and alcohol and im like yeah but were you taking them 4x a day every day for over a year? He said no, but I gotta get going I have other calls. Im like what would they use to treat my anxiety and panic and he said antihystamines which i cant take or ssris which I can't take. This is scaring me especially with my history of seisures and my bad liver.  :-\

get me up to speed on how the grievance procedure effects your withdrawal. Did it severe you from your doctor or any medical care in your area?

Basically the county p doc. I have no other doctors right now. Don't know if anyone will take my case on no one really seems to want to and This is a benzo free county. So the county has offered me dropping by 25% before 50% now or going to pamona recovery center and detoxing for 7-10 days they would take me off the librium and give me pheno and trazadone. But once I get out it's not thier problem. Once I leave anything else id have to see the county psych. And he wouldn't reinstate me if I needed it or keep me on pheno if I needed it.
