So last night I just took one 5mg tablet. I woke up a lot but I always fell back asleep pretty quickly (had a giant tumbler of chamomile mint tea on my night stand and I think that helped). I'm shaking but I think that has more so something to do with it being 45F and the heat is off and I'm wearing short shorts. I was on valium for about three months I think so long enough but not too long. At one point in the hospital they were giving me 5mg every 4 hours because of my severe reaction to 50mg of risperdal consta (I don't remember this, but the nurses said I was very sick and it's a good thing I Dont' remember) but after those two weeks they weened me down to 2mg PRN and 5mg at night and 9mg just stuck.

I don't foresee any problems with this. I'm taking 5mg until I run out of fives then I'll take 2x2mg then 1x2mg and stopping from that point shouldn't be so bad.
