Help with Valium Taper

[[be...]]

Hoping I could get some advice on a taper plan to get off Valium. Took 28 pills either 5mg or 10 mg over the course of 3.5 months for muscle spasms. Last 3 weeks only took it once a week. Thought I would be fine but I think I feel the withdrawals creeping in. From my intro and signature you can see this isn't my first time and I always have some sort of withdrawals when stopping. I have done a quick taper in the past off of 10 mg Valium. I dropped 1 mg per week done in 10 weeks. Was a little rough and took a month or two after to get better but I did. More afraid this time because I've read every time you withdrawal it gets worse. So have some plans this time I thought about trying or if anyone has better ideas I am very open to listening.

 

Plan 1:  Reinstate at 5 Mg for 10 days.  Drop 1 mg every 10 days and be done in 50 days.

 

Plan 2:  Reinstate at 5 mg for 7 days. Drop 0.5 mg every 7 days and be done in 70 days.

 

5mg is what I was mostly taking so hoping I can reinstate at that level.

 

I just don't want to taper but so slow because I'd hate to taper for longer than I was on the mess in the first place.

 

So I would greatly appreciate any and all advice anyone has with helping me out here. Just feel so stupid for trying again. The first time I really had no idea. Second time I just didn't know how addictive they were. They helped so much with the spasms. Third time I thought I could beat the system by playing smart. Famous last words. Think I've run the gambit on ways to get addicted to benzos and no more after this time. If the dr brings it up I just say no. Don't care what it is for.

 

Thanks everyone.
