[Ma...] Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I went from ativan to valium, crossover ok. 15 mg valium To 10 mg no sweat. Held at 10 last summer so I could enjoy life a little, started dry cuts in Sept. 1/2 mg per. Switched to liquid taper, minimal symptoms felt very optimistic. Now at 5 mg am almost starting to loose it again. this is where I lost it before with larger dry cuts. I know I have to hold at 5 for a while now. Am feeling discouraged, because my plan was going to take me another 10 - 12 months, and now it is going to be longer. I have already been at this 18 months. Somewhere here I saw a sub group called the "5 mg group". Cannot find it. can someone link me to it? Seems like a lot of folks seem to have to overcome a major hurdle at this level. It is 5 am Eastern time US and have not slept. Was sleeping a ful! 8 hours a night until this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Gw...] Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hi Marja2, I think it's awesome you held for a summer to give yourself a break before getting back to it. I'm not sure I would have the willpower for that. I had a tough time when I went below 5 mg also; my anxiety in particular went through the roof. I'm sorry to hear that it's taking you so long. I haven't seen a 5 mg Valium group, but there's one for 3 mg and under that's pretty active. Hang in there, and I hope you find some relief soon!
