Hello Sparky2pickles99   Welcome to BenzoBuddies!. 

 

You will get plenty of support here. The best way to minimize withdrawal symptoms is a slow taper.  Tapering slow gives your central nervous system time to adjust to each reduction.  It is suggested to taper no more than 5-10% every 10-14 days.  This can be adjusted based on how you feel.

 

We have a great bunch of people here, our members have been through all aspects of benzodiazepine use and withdrawal, and will share their experiences with you.

 

I would suggest that you read the Ashton Manual, an excellent resource about these types of drugs and how to withdraw. It was written by an expert in the field.

 

I'll leave you a few links:

 

The Ashton Manual.

If you would be so kind as to add a signature (history of meds/doses etc) it will help members give you relevant advice this link will show you how to ”Create a signature”

 

Welcome aboard
