[Be...] Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Week 2 would start Wednesday, OMP. You don't have to stick to a week, of course, but if you are shooting for making changes once/week, Wednesday is the start of a new week for your substitution plan.

[Ol...] Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Really depends on how you feel. Everyone is different per Ashton. Read the whole packet again last night. I wanted to do 1 week but then thought I better do 2 weeks with the stuff I have coming up in life, unfortunately. Now I am wondering if I should even taper a lesser amount than 5mg of Valium. So confused. I don't ever want to go backwards but can't trigger much of a w/d symptom. I can deal with insomnia. I had it for 20 years even on the benzos but the panic, anxiety, etc that I had on my 4 day c/t craziness, can't do and the cog brain, can't do. Just so unsure. I also have to make sure my doctor (feel good) wants to give me enough drugs to do the taper I want as Ashton says it should be. He thinks a 6 week taper is all good. So far so good with him but who the heck knows. I hope to know more when I see him on the 7th. Good luck on your next taper!!! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ky...] Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 My crossover to Ashton was lengthier than the manual indicated. It ook me 2 weeks to so stage 1 and 2 weeks to do stage 3. Take your time. Do what is comfortable for you. If a stage takes 2 weeks,9 days,whatever,make sure you are ok before trying the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
