[jo...] Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I am at one full week of taking 15 mg valium after a six week c/o from 1.75 mg ativan. I am still dosing 3 x daily (5 mg each) and still feeling a bit groggy, but not as bad as when I started. I want to go to dosing 2 x daily before I begin my taper. Should I wait another week before I try 2 x day to let my body have more time to adjust to the valium? I am kind of afraid to try too soon, because of possible increased sedation and falling out at work. I want to make sure I am stable on the valium before starting to taper, I was just hoping I could do that by dosing twice a day instead of three. It would make this process a lot more simpler.

[Ma...] Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I switched after c/o to V from 3 times to twice daily without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[jo...] Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hey Maugham1, After you switched to 2 x a day dosing, what times of the day did you take your doses? Thanks jojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Approximately 11 AM and 11 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[jo...] Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Thanks again. That is what I was planning, about 12 hours a apart. My times will be a little different, because I have to be in bed before 11:00 pm. Probably 9:00 am - 9:00 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[jo...] Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 I noticed in your signature, when you switched to all Valium it 7.5 mg when you switched. I just switched to 15 mg of Valium, double your daily switch, that is what makes me a little nervous about the sedation after each dose. 7.5 mg twice a day as compared to your 3.75 mg twice a day. But, I have made up my mind, I have to start somewhere and just see what happens. Thanks again for all your help, jojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
