Withdrawing benzos...need help

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I've reduced my bromazepam to 1/4 tablet each day (evening dose, 0.75

mg). On Friday I decided to finally quit the benzo, but I guess I was

too optimistic. By Sunday I had the full range of symptoms (flu-like

symptoms and spaced-out feeling). When I woke up on Monday morning I

was jittery, nervous and feeling completely out of balance. I also

slept badly for two days.

So I've gone back to taking my evening dose again.

My question is: How should I taper off from here? Skip a day in

between (i.e. take the med only every other day and gradually

increase the intervals in between)? Or cut the tablet in half again

(1/8th dose)?

I'd really appreciate your help here. I haven't taken the med for

very long (approx. 2 months), but I seem to have a serious problem

here.

Once I'm off the benzo I'll start tapering off the doxepin I've been

taking.

Thanks!

Jeff
