Guest [pa...] Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 See stage 31: http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzsched.htm#s3 You can reduce by 0.5 mg every two weeks. If it ends up beeing too much for you, you can instead cut by no more than 10% of total dose per every two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Ka...] Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hello Koreacajun, welcome to BenzoBuddies, We are glad you are joining our community. We support a slow taper to minimize withdrawl symptoms, generally not more than 5-10% of your total daily dose every two weeks or so. Here is a link to taper plans for you to review: Planning Your Withdrawal (Taper Plans) You might want to take a look at this board for help or information about sleep. That was a big bugaboo for me but it does get better with time: Insomnia Have a look around and when you feel ready, you can start a thread. Let us know how we can help you. Best and again, welcome, Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
