[Br...] Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I tapered from 30 mg temazepam to 6 mg in 8 months time. The last couple of months sxs got harder to handle. What would be a reasonable pace to 0? Should I consider starting to split my dose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some folks it becomes necessary to slow down as they get lower in dosage. So you have been reducing 3 mg per month. At that rate (now a 50% reduction) it is understandable why your symptoms have ramped up. A 5-10% reduction every 14 days is usually the recommended rate. I am curious as to what reduction method are you using? Daily reductions or cut & hold? If I were in your shoes I would try reducing 1mg a month making tiny daily reductions and see if symptoms lessen, then adjust taper rate from this point.

[Br...] Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hello Gudruna Thank you for your input. Actually, I started on a schedule of tapering 4 mg per month, then gradually reduced to 2 mg per month. I use a scale, reducing almost every day. Should I start splitting the dose?

[Gu...] Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 If you have become accustom to dosing 1x a day I would continue with that regimen...why mess with something that has been working so well so far, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
