That is a fast withdrawal- your brain needs ample time to adjust. Lunesta is a different class of medication and has a milder effect than a benzo. If your doc says it’s ok, you could try it. My overactive brain needs something to shut it down so I can sleep. I’m not worried about being dependent on it. As my dr. said, “It is more damaging to have chronic long- standing insomnia that to take a drug for sleep.” It’s her specialty and she also has a psychiatry degree. I trust her.

Thanks for replying..I’m still on a baby dose of Valium and my psychiatrist thinks I should just stop it all at once.. I wonder if I went too fast in my taper? I wish I could trust my doctor but none of them know about Benzo Withdrawal it seems. I don’t know if I should keep decreasing or stay on 1.5 mg Valium for awhile…
