Advice on changing how I take diazepam

[[gu...]]

Hello everyone. Am struggling with Diazepam. I have been on them 16 years. I take 56mg a month and am trying to reduce but finding it hard. Have just started spreading this out weekly on a daily basis, as I was just used to taking when needed with no set pattern or dose. Have been advised to split the tablets equally daily over a month, but am scared about doing it. Can anyone tell me if I am doing the right thing, as my failed attempts at withdrawal are really really awful?

 

I’ve been taking 56mg total a month and have used it when needed, so no set daily amount  but have been over using it and taking too much in any amount. It has been suggested, because I am having a terrible time randomly using it and trying to cut down, that I take 2mg a day to add structure and to help me spread the withdrawal effects. Has anyone got experience of this and Is this a good thing to do?
