What is a typical benzo withdrawal schedule like?

Posted by qbsbrown on February 24, 2006, at 1:21:49

Is it typically 10 percent of the original dose per week?

I do know of Dr heather ashton, from benzo.org.uk, and her taper is EXTREMELY slow (im too impatient, and think it's a lil conservative).
I'm on 17.5 mgs of valium currently.

Now i tried cold turkey, and that was about the dumbest thing a man could do. Although i've CTd off of booze, SSRIS, AEDs, and tobacco, this was the worst.

Thoughts, experience, advice?

Much appreciated

Brian
