I am not in Phoenix, but a good addition psychiatrist should be able to put you on a slow taper using Valium. Ask your insurance company for some one who specializes in this.

Your Doctor did the right thing by putting you back on Clonazepam, Valium is the same drug as Diazepam. Fortunately you only stopped for 5 days, I stopped for 9 months before I realized .05MG Clonazepam is the incorrect dose to taper off 6MG of Lorazepam. Go on line and look up the ASHTON MANUAL and read it. You need to be as knowledgeable as possible. There are very few Doctors or Psychiatrists who know about tapering off Benzodiazepines. You need to take control and research. I have said this many times "you need to be in control" no one knows how you feel and do not understand or know about BENZODIAZEPINES.
