The 1-12 sections are each 2-3 weeks? And how did you alternate for the whole period each time? I am at .75-1mg and unsure how to do this. I think I am trying too fast as I gave alot if anxiety and cannot focus. How long were you taking a benzo?
how long were you on? im now at 0.25mg only at night . was on for 2 and half to 3 months. now having some disruption in sleep. think ill give it a good 10 days then go to 0. 125? never seen a taper bounce back and fourth. did it keep withdrawl symptoms away?
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am not quite sure what the numbers 1-12 stand for? Some of them appear to be for 6 days? others just 4? I am also tapering off 1mg so would I just follow this the same way and reduce by 1/4 each level? Thanks so much for your help. I really want to get this drug out of my life for good! < 3
Can you please give a more detailed breakdown of the length of days of each drop and so forth. It would be a great help.
Thank You.

I am a bit confused, as to how many days in each period you made the changes. Can you show a bit more as to the days and how often to alternate?
Thank you very much
