I have be taking Valium for about 20 years. Am tapering .1 every month. Was down to. 2.4 got a yeast infection was given diflucan which acts like grapefruit so my dose was doubled. Am now at 3.7. It has been so difficult. Pain, anxiety and sleep issues. It will also take me years. I am 77 and sometimes wonder if it is worth it but was at tolerance so going through withdrawal anyway. So for now I am continuing to go down. Am using liquid diazepam to accomplish such a slow taper. It has been very difficult for me. I’m so sorry. I understand.
