Heather Ashton writes that 50% of long-term benzo users are able to discontinue their drugs without any problems. But she advises against anyone quitting benzos cold turkey. I quit lorazepam cold turkey and 48 hours later I was climbing the walls. So I went back on lorazepam and did a four-month taper, crossing over to diazepam. But I used benzos daily for a lot longer than you have, so you can probably do a faster taper. Maybe you should aim for a one-month or a two-month taper. If you encounter any problems during your taper, just slow down.
