You should and really need to work with the prescribing doc on this. A very slow taper is usually how to do it but it is still hard. There can be other anxiolytics that are not in the benzo. class that can help. Never go cold turkey and realize that withdrawal can be extremely dangerous if not done safely and under the care of a competent pdoc. Like possum mentions there are safe but slow ways of safe taper. But you do need a pdoc to help avoid major w.d. Stay in touch and be safe
