Trying to get off the benzos

Hi there

 

Been on diazipam for a few years now and have managed to taper down to 10mg per day from 40mg.  Also on DHC, which I'm attempting to cut too.  On here for any useful info that I use to help me quit.

Hi  :) Welcome to BenzoBuddies!

 

I am glad you found us today. Congratulations on your taper so far. You have come a long way.The recommended reduction rate is 5 to 10 percent every two weeks. A gradual taper really is the best way to try to minimize symptoms.

 

You might like to check out The Ashton Manual it is an authoritative source on what to expect in withdrawal and recovery.  Dr. Ashton is an expert in the field. 

 

Please feel free to post to any of the dedicated boards, we have a wonderful community of people here, who will give sound advice. Members have been through all aspects of benzodiazepine use and withdrawal and are more than willing to share their experiences.
