I generally take 0.5mg but at least once a week need to take more due to severe anxiety. I am probably experiencing some withdrawals which is why I am going slow. I am trying to come off it as I have been on benzo's for over 6 years and I am worried about the long-term effects. It is going to be very tough coming off it.

I have done it before (2004) and it was hell, but I came off pretty fast. It took me about 6 months to recover from that. I had bad anxiety and insomnia plus a few other things.
