I detoxed off of 8mg a day (acquired illegally) to nothing in about 2 weeks in a controlled rehab setting using large amounts of phenobarbital. I still had major withdrawal symptoms including seizure. Under no circumstance would I recommend a cold turkey detox. It is life threatening and can cause seizure and other life threatening side effects.

That being said, you are absolutely doing the right thing by tapering off the drug. The best advice is to go very very slow. It will be the best option for you by far. If .5 milligram drops become too much to handle, continue with .25mg drops. This should minimize your withdrawal symptoms.

Keep your eye on the prize and remember why you're doing this. Think about your healthy baby and the benefits to your own health. You can do it! Just remember that feelings are temporary.

Good luck!
