Hi flaxxy703, I went through a safe and successful benzo weaning years ago.My psychiatrist used the Dr. Heather Ashton Method of withdrawal. It took time

but so well worth the peace of mind in finally being off the benzo merry-go-round.

I did not have a support around me like this forum but you do. Let us help support

you every step of the way. With help you will be okay. The "key" here is to go

slowly and safely (with your doctor) and never go back up on dose. You will get

there.

Once you are off them, be patient in giving your brain time to heal, time to readjust.

It was a most amazing feel when I got to that point.

In place of a benzo, I now use Meditation & Breathing to calm the nervous system.

Extending my best to you for a successful detox. xx

thanks i started tapering off 3 days ago letting one 0.5mg tab lasts 2 days instead of one so i'm taking .125 twice a day hope i can continue . i think i got a little stressed listening to reviews on you tube.

Go as long as you need to. If you need to stay at half a tablet a while and then 3/4 a tablet a while til.you are at a mere crumb to help yourself ++do it. I think sometimes our anxiety comes from not trusting ourselves. Trust you because you are capable ( this is what I tell myself) You can do this.

Sorry flaxxy in that I never used supplements or food to enhance my recovery.I did however keep a positive attitude which was important in not allowing

myself to get discouraged. xx
