Diazepam: I always recommend that this be done under medical supervision. Would consult with the prescribing provider. Take care.

Valium taper: You need a schedule of slow tapering while closely monitoring for withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor can help you with this. For my patients I use schedule of tapering by 5% of daily dose every 4-7 days, and if not successful, I try the Phenobarb detox.
