Does This Taper Strategy Work?

[[Kh...]]

Wondering if doing something like a schedule below -- to get from 2mg to 1mg Valium is doable and maybe even more effective than making .5mg cuts every week?  Seems like an even smoother transition?   Once I get to 1 mg new decisions to be made

Curious what people think

 

2mg	Sat 6th
1.9mg	Sun
1.8	Mon
1.7	Tue
1.6	Wed
1.5	Thur
1.4	Fri
1.3	Sat 13th
1.2	Sun
1.1mg	Mon
1 mg	Tue

You're cutting between 5~9% each day, which each day cutting even more.  It's way faster than the proposed 5-10% every 2 weeks.

Understand, but have not experienced any of the mainstream symptoms in the 3 months of tapering so was considering a daily approach and if I noticed anything maybe I would hold from there...

Then go for it.  I only wish I could cut fractions of a miligram like that.  The pharma that made Victan only sells 2mg pills.  What the hell were they thinking?  They didn't think at all of the people that have to taper off their drug, so I have to eventually jump from 0.5mg which is a quarter pill.  1mg Victan is equivalent to 5mg Valium.

Ashton showing a full 1 mg cut from 2mg to 1 mg after a "week or two" - I was kinda thinking a 10 day march from 2mg to 1mg may be smoother.  I am not familiar with Victan - is it soluble?  MAybe you could cut smaller amounts that way? 

 

I have 2mg Valium capsules - not tablets....so I am able to empty the powder contents into 50ml of milk and take out a few ML to get to desired dose.  Not 100% sure its fool proof but early in my taper I also crushed and dissolved Xanax  in milk and it seemed to work.

By the way I really appreciate all your input and support its hard to do this all alone.

@[Kh...] If you symptoms have been tolerable I’d say go for it. Let us know how it goes
