Most people don’t find CBD helpful when tapering a benzodiazepine. This is according to the huge amount of people using the various benzo forums to help them with their taper.

CBD did little for me. I've been on Benzo's for decades (off and on--am able to take short vacations from them for a couple of weeks up to several months), but even with an excellent diet (for me), lots of exercise: walking a half hour/day, 20 to 40 minutes of tai chi daily, and trying to play tennis again--at least able to give lessons, and having some luck in fighting off insomnia, I seem to be able to maintain: PD seems to remain at a plateau. I did realize that the tremors I'd been having for the past twenty or so years were pretty much related to social phobia. The only PD-related med' I'm currently taking is Benztropine Mesylate (brand name); Cogentin (generic). I take 2 mg at bedtime. It began working within a few weeks. I still wish that the VA or any doctors in Calif would prescribe at the very least 0.5 mg of Alprazolam or Clonazapam. I often get anxious when I know that I'll have to join in an unfamiliar social event. I'm 75 yrs old, not going to OD on the smallest dosage available, and if I didn't need to be around to care for my wife, I likely would have committed suicide when my cognitize decline began several years ago.
