I have been on benzos for longer than I would like to admit. Largely for panic and general anxiety disorder. They have helped me immensely get through life and achieve many milestones. However, as I approach older age, I have a strong desire to taper off as much as I can. I have successfully lowered my dose from 1.75 per day to .5 per day and feel fine. This was due to a very slow taper over the last two years. I find that the bigger challenge as I titrate down is the psychological battle that must be fought. (becoming acclimated to the reality that you are in the world without that pharmacological support and you’re actually “doing it” on your own! Good luck to all.
