You are on a very small dose and if you eventually increase to 1 mg at night, you are still on a small dose.

I feel the withdrawal experience is very individualized.

I had taken 0.5mg to 1.0 mg nightly for over 20 years, I had gotten off of it by decreasing to 0.5mg for 2 weeks and then to zero with no major issues at all.

Laurie describes a nice slow titration for anyone experiencing symptoms while titrating off of the med.

Personally, I have found temazepam to give deeper sleep.

I strongly prefer these benzo meds to pdocs using antpsychotic meds for sleep.
