[Mo...] Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Psychiatrist told me I can just stop taking them. I don't have any support that is listening to my taper worries not even my family.

[Bi...] Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I'm no expert but no to cold turkey, it could be hell for you and extremely dangerous. I went cold turkey after using just twice a week for a month and I've suffered bad. Hoping someone replies soon with some guidance for you .

[Mo...] Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 Desperately looking for insight. I am completely lost, with knowing what to do. Only thing I'm doing now is praying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Br...] Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Moppie- If you're experiencing withdrawal symptoms that doesn't necessarily mean you need to taper. Because your experience with benzos is so recent, so limited and so short I agree with what Pamster told you in another thread - that your best course of action is to simply stop taking the benzos. You may experience symptoms but they are temporary and you can get through them. We will help you get through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I would just stop, but we’re all different. I couldn’t grasp a 9 month, year taper knowing I could still go through w/d for a similar length of time. But that’s just part of my personality-patience isn’t part of my DNA. You could also c/t for a couple of weeks and reinstate if necessary…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
