Re: coming off diazepam
I got off Diazepam after twenty-five years and I was on a lot higher dose than you were - sadly I'm back on it now, but was completely drug free for nearly ten years. You didn't say specifically how quickly you reduced from 4mgs a day to 1. The important thing is to do it VERY slowly and even after you've taken the last one and been without the drug for some time you can continue to experience withdrawal symptoms for quite some time. But if you've gradually cut down, half a milligramme every two to three weeks to get down to taking only 1, you shouldn't have too many problems. But I doubt if 1mg of Diazepam would be causing the symptoms you describe. I can understand you wanting to get off the meds as quickly as possible, but perhaps you are being a little bit over optimistic after all you've been through. Discuss it with your doctor.
