Can you tell me any suggestions on how i can taper from benzos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 15%/week: But must be done under supervision of a doctor who knows how to do it. Sometimes the last 15% must be stretched out a great deal, at no more than 5% every week or even every other week. Seizures, delirium and cardiovascular stress can happen, and individuals need intensive psychological counseling to deal with anxiety/ depression as well.See an addiction professional for help(aaap.Org, asam.Org).
