A member asked:
Been on some form of benzo daily for two years for panic disorder. down to 17.5mg valium from 30mg a day. even if it takes longer, can i taper slowly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can taper as slowly as you are comfortable with in consultation with your doctor. While tapering, it is a good idea to learn other techniques for dealing with anxiety and panic. Consider seeing a therapist to help you with this.
