Mary, you will be in my prayers tonight and every night. I am so concerned for you bc of how fast your dr is making you taper, especially after you have been on this med for 27+ years. As I wrote earlier in my first post, I went thru 3 psychiatrist before I found one who had experience in tapering benzodiazepines. So if you are not comfortable with cutting so quickly maybe you should think about a 2nd opinion. She shouldn’t be giving you a deadline if she is. This should be a flexible journey, and as long as you are reducing you r on the right track. You just need to go slowly. Personally I will not be cutting this week bc last week’s cut was so hard on me. I took 2 months off in November and December, my choice and my dr was ok with it. I’d had lost 12 lbs and needed that weight back( I’m 5’6” 123 lbs normally), I don’t want to end up being anorexic. Please be careful, you are in my prayers always. Let us know how it goes.
Hugs and Strength to you,
Ann
