Help! Diazepam taper

Hi

So i was a sporadic taker probably averaging 7.5mg a week but more recently up to 12mg per week.

As i have never taken daily i really didn't want to go up to a daily dose before starting a taper so after some initial advice i decided on 2mg every 48 hours to start. Been doing that since last Saturday so 8 days now. Mostly been ok with some not too bad wd symptoms but last 2 doses I've felt worse after taking it?! Why would that be?

I'm wondering where to go from here?

My original plan was go to 1.5mg every other day then 1mg then 0.5mg but starting to wonder if a daily dose would be better.

Instead of 2mg every 2 days could i do 1mg every day?  Or go to 1.5mg every day?

So confused!

Since you are experiencing tolerable symptoms and you are on a low dose,  if I were in your shoes I would taper .25mg every 10 -14 days and be done with it and never ever take benzo again
