I’m tapering off 5 mg of Valium I’ve been on for 55 years.
I’m experiencing trouble sleeping; is this common and how long will it last.
It was because it was causing memory issues.
The Dr. has me gradually reducing.
Is this the way to go?

@daveincanada1944 - hello, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is great you are working with your doctor on tapering, as going off many mental health medications can be tricky.
You are asking great questions about what to expect in the tapering process. Your doctor who is administering your taper would be the No. 1 person to ask your questions.
