My withdrawals were no picnic, but I had built the coming withdrawal with negativity and way out of proportion to what really happened. The withdrawals were not nearly as bad as I anticipated, but I have gone very slowly to get my body accustomed to lesser dose. I was on benzos for 15 years. I went very slowly off and still take 1 mg of Valium at night for sleep. Not being able to sleep, in my opinion, is the worst withdrawal. I have learned to use alternative methods to fall asleep.
