Slowly, very slowly. I took
18 mg for seizures (almost the max recommended daily amt.)
It took me 2 years but only had very slight symptoms at the very end of my taper that were easily resolved.

Dear Jake,
Thank you for your reply. What method did you you to decrease and get off it.? Did you use a micro taper or the cut and hold. Were you on Klonopin like I am? I am nervous about the water taper because of getting uneven doses, the liquid method because of the need to cross over from tablet to liquid and then to measure very , very carefully, the Ashton method because I might not tolerate the Valium and that many I read about think her cuts are much too extreme, GP who want me to go down way too fast like in 6 to 8 weeks, using dry cuts and a scale that may be hard to use and unreliabe, a doctor that wasn't even licensed in the state I live in it turned out after I started with him. Now, my GP, who is retiring in 4 months as turned me over to a psychiatric NP and I have to wait to see if my insurance will cover it, etc. My expericne with them as connected with the medical gragantium we have in this state is that they are young and experienced, do not listen, and have no compassion as well as not being available when you are in crisis. An at my wits end and need to get off this stuff as it has taken over my life and is making me sick.
