I have done the whole gamet, Ashton Manual, forums, you name it, slow taper, cold turkey. Unfortunately, unlike most, am not a housewife with enough support and resources to suffer for years without working. Valium is a middle to upper middle class drug. I had to gamble and go back on, was 6 months off and still a basket case, was plenty functional before an idiot doc put me on Xanax long term for moderate stress. I have Valium, can get it, no way in the world I can taper again. I went back on to try and stay off the streets but still cannot work, felt better for about a month then it pooped out. Any suggestions. Cold turkey hell, the grim reaper and dragons in my room as I gasp for air? State rehab if I can get in (have no insurance) where a lot detox you off Valium with Ativan. Is like detoxing a whisky drinking alcoholic with Vodka. Idiots! Any insights would be appreciated.
