Valium 60-100mg for 4 weeks

After a set of traumatic life events, I stupidly turned to diazepam to help me get through.  I took them for about a month. Now I want to get off them!  I have pills enough to taper down from 60mg to 5mg in 5mg weekly steps, but is this too fast?  How will I know if I am suffering from withdrawal?  Help, please!

Hi Jane ..I'm assuming you didn't get them on prescription ? Otherwise your GP would not have allowed such a high dose 

....withdrawal is hard and has to be done slowly ..I have been on them for over 44 years ...

ideally you should reduce by one milligram per 2/3 weeks minimum

i can only suggest you come clean and tell your GP the truth and ask for help ...

Hi jane

im currently on a diazepam taper too. How are you getting on. Jo x
