After 4 years, I’m finally in the 2s! 2.9mg of Valium today. I’ve read so many good stories about ppl feeling so much better once they got to 2.5 or so. And so many ppl it got worse for them. I’m having a really rough time today mentally. Questioning myself. If it’s going to get unbearable now because I’m so low. If I’m going to crash. If I need to slow my taper down. I think reading things over the years from forums has scared me.

*I taper .012mg daily (.36mg/month)

Anyone have any positive advice or experiences similar to where I am? I thought I’d be proud of myself and excited for the end of this taper once I got to the 2s, but right now I’m just scared out of my mind. I was 18 the last time I was med free. I’m 35 now. I’m just scared.

I sure get why one could get scared reading here... But dont be..!!

No one elses story is yours, and if you have done a decent taper that will only help..

 

Just follow your bodys lead, make appropriate reductions as you feel ready, and follow that to the end...

Sorry, but it looks to me like your in a great position for a "happy ending"..

 

If you have a read through the last dozen pages of the 3,2,1, valium support group, you will find a number of buddies in a similar position... -Doing well, and about to walk off..

 

Low n slow, IMHO..

:)

 

Wishing you the best...
