Thanks for explaining your taper method and whatever works for you is perfect. You don't need to use scales if you're doing fine without, sometimes its a difference in personalities, some people need to be more precise, it gives them the feeling they have some control over this, others do just fine with methods like yours, and really, as long as you're getting your required dose in a 24 hour period, it all evens out.
I would suggest not pushing the time limits though, your brain craves consistency and keeping steady blood serum levels of the drug in your body will help it get this. Gradual and consistent reductions of the drug are best. I think anytime you feel ready to make another reduction, this is what you should do, you know better than anyone how you're feeling.
I think your plan is perfect, if you show progress then that should be enough to reassure your doctor you don't need additional medications, you just need a steady supply of the one you're attempting to rid yourself of.
I wouldn't mention BenzoBuddies, many doctors aren't thrilled with internet support groups but some have actually recommended us.
