Well after talking to my doctor and a pharmacist it seems that they think now I was having benzo withdrawal. I had stop it totally on Tuesday and felt miserable. Took 2 half doses of my normal amount yesterday, and today tried not taking it again. I finally gave in and took the 1mg to try and sleep tonight. so far though it is not really working( i feel like i have this horrible pain in my brain and my anxiety is out of control). They suggest I do a 1mg at night as i was doing then .5mg in the morning for a week, and then I guess it will be .5 mg at night and so on...is this too fast a taper? Why do I feel soo bad still after taking a dose again?
