Re: My Diazepam withdrawal
Steven,
When I started my first taper fron diaz I was on 12mg a day and reduced by 1mg daily every 2 weeks. Once I got to 8mg, I had rebound anxiety and stayed there until I had stabalised again which took about 3 weeks. Unfortunately, I did have a relapse due to some ongoing work issues so I had to up back to 15mg a day.
Anyway, I have been tapering now since just after Christmas and I am back down to 8mg a day, this time I have reduced 1mg every 3-4 weeks. If you can manage the increased anxiety for a bit, say 2 weeks, you should stabalise again by then. You may be as well to try cut the tablet into quaters and reduce by 0.5mg every 2 weeks or so. As I said before, it must be done slowly. I plan to reduce by this amount now every 3-4 weeks until I am back to 'as and when' use only. Please don't rush it, you will get there much easier the slower you go. I hope this makes sense.
Good luck with it all. Kitti x
