Do you mean 10 mg? 1 mg is almost nothing. If it is 10 mg., split to 5 mg for 7-10 days, then split to 2.5 7-10 days then every other day. It is hard to get off of benzodiazepines, especially if you have taken them for a long time. Is a doctor helping? If you are on 1 mg, that is fantastic. Maybe I am confused, but you can do this.

@diverdown1 I appreciate your reply. When I drop 1 mg every two weeks I get withdrawal symptoms like nausea, high anxiety, shaking. I cut it to .5 every two weeks and still difficult. I have trauma that is making it harder I think and working with a therapist. I guess we’re all different. I’m really having a hard time tapering. I haven’t take. Them for a long time before my taper. Just since the trauma in August 2025.
