A member asked:
I want to come off my meds. been on ssris 7 years, benzos for 2 1/2 years daily. which would be better to quit first? 10mgprozac/15mgvalium.

Valium: Please ask for professional input. While stopping diazepam would be the best it is not easy even with expert support and if done too quickly not recommended. Good to come up with options to make it easier and to assure the best long-term outcome.
