Time to start taper again at 2 mg of diazepam.  Had to hold for several months due to thyriod issues. Scared but determined.  Thinking about .25 at a time. Anyone else that has cut at this dose  . Would love feedback. I have  many symptoms still yet not as intense as before . Just want to be done!!!!Thanks!

You might want to do a micro taper at his low a dose. I'm sure builder and I know kgirl has experience with this.

Hi there, if you've cut by 0.25 before and it wasn't horrendous then go for it. I personally wished I would have been able to drop by smaller doses, I think my brain would have been able to handle it far better.

Good luck buddy

Hello Peacehound,

You might want to look at the very simple, but effective, liquid titration method described in "The Benzo Book"  which is a free download (pdf file) listed on www.thebenzobook.com  under "About the Book" section.  I'm no chemist, but this method looks pretty straight-forward to me (it takes a long time though!)

 

Best to you

I cut by .5mg down 1mg, which I'm at now. I'm going to cut by .25mg down to .5mg and jump off. I wasn't doing too bad until this last cut. It's been 2 weeks and I haven't held for longer than that because I start to go downhill after 2 weeks. Has anyone actually improved during a long hold?

yeah sure... -thats the whole point... But what do you call a long hold.??

-I wouldnt call it long until after 3 months...  6 months is not uncommon on the Long Hold Support Group, But thats a case by case thing...  Its symptom based, not time based...

Again, Its just letting healing catch up to medication intake...

 

I would suggest if one is starting to feel worse again after only two weeks, -That they are cutting before the healing cycle is complete.. Symptoms may well continue to accumilate with further cuts...

 

Often this leads to a rush to get off, and into nasty post acute symptoms...
