Trying to help my wife with a taper

[[eu...]]

Hi there- My wife switched from a low dose of Klonipin to Valium for a taper.  The valium is effecting her negatively and we're looking to switch back and hoping to find support doing that.  She has been very sensitive in the past to switching.

I admire and respect any partner who wants to support their other half as best they can; it's a challenge for both people involved, but doable . Best of luck! You can learn a LOT on here  .
