Re: How am I ever going to get away from valium?
Hi Wired, a little late replying. I've been taking diazepam since 1992. My GP prescribed it to get me back to work. It did start on 2mg a day but crept up to 10mg where it has stopped. Ideally I would love to be off it altogether, but being a carer for my wife I can't let it interfere with my duty of care towards her.
If you want to come off them, try reducing them but very slowly, you're not on a huge dose by any means. Though I understand the transition you referred to, the being valium free. Its another reason I'm reluctant to come off them.
