Tapering off a benzo is best done very slowly and ideally with a Dr's help. Stopping cold turkey can be both unpleasant and dangerous, you can have seizures depending on how long/how much you've been taking.


I went from taking 5 mg/day down to 1mg/day but that was over years of gradual reductions, and I'm about to drop down to .75 mg/day and I'm a bit nervous about that, but I need to get off it, as it's affecting my memory and my balance.
