Healing during taper?

[[Ho...]]

I understand that our brains need time to heal and to begin functioning on their own without the benzos. My question is, does this healing begin during our taper as we cut? Or is it only after we completeley quit?

Hi Holden, I feel like I am healing as I go, I am feeling better and just having small blips of sx once in a while blips meaning I can tolerate them, so small and I can lead a functional life, I know that for me going slow and holding has helped. I believe that as we go our Precious Brains are getting used to less medication and it is healing different parts of our Brain. I know that the ultimate will be when I Slid off and no more meds, and sure that more healing will occur. That is just my thoughts and I am sticking to it.. The reason I feel this way, I had two failed tapers and the reason I was going too fast and not allowing my poor Brain to heal on the way down.

Hi be good. Thanks for your reply. I kind of WANT to hear the healing has started during my taper and that my brain is starting to work on its own, but I really wasn't sure. You and I are at similar doses of Valium. Now that you've started using titrations, how many mg are you currently at?

I am now at 0.80mg of Valium coming down from 9.2mg of Valium. I indeed feel healing and when things are bad, I just think that the Brain is working on that part that needs healing and when it is finished I will feel better and it has been working. You will do fine, if you do not put a time table and do not rush and keep your own Counsel.
