just say NO to rapid benzodiazepine tapers, if you can.

a 10mgs cut is too much, so rapidly. can you get a different doctor who maybe won't try these things with you?

20mgs/diazepam=1mgs klonopin or xanax, if i recall correctly.

if he insists on a reduction, try to get him to do it slowly.

did you piss him off recently?
