Hi @kawanhee! Congratulations on successfully weaning yourself off this drug. Your story gives me some much needed hope. I will look up the other discussion thread now. Thanks so much for replying. Can I ask: did your doctor prescribe you anything else (like valium) to help with the weaning process? All the best with your continued abstinence, and taming the mental tiger of anxiety.

Hi @geoffbean24! My pcp suggested Valium but I didn’t want to have to wean off of that, too. I started taking 7.5 mg mirtazapine because I began relying on lorazepam for sleep. I am still taking that because it’s not a benzo.
Happy to answer any more questions. You can definitely do it! Please let me know if you can’t find my post.
