Yeah, the benzo thing worries me too. I'm not on that much, 2.5 mg daily (so not that little either) but every time we've tried to wean me down something bad has happened and I've had to go back up. Right now there's no plan to reduce it any time soon. I also worry that someone would try the Ashton method and try putting me on diazepam to wean off. Diazepam makes me extremely sleepy and there is no way I could function on it. Usually if I go up a small increase in clozapine combined with a little valium for sleep will fix things in a few days.
