Flushing

The rest of my Xanax down the toilet. C/O to Valium altogether as of TODAY.

Here's my Benzo saga...

Nov 17th 2011 4.0 mg xanax since Nov 2009 2 yrs gradual use.
cut to 3.5 x with 10 mg valium
every two weeks since or so ive cut by .25
sometimes by .5 if i have a long weekend and
can stay in bed.
2/23/12 at 1.25 mg x w/ 30 mg v

2/26 I WANNA FLUSH THE XANAX DOWN THE TOILET AND UPDOSE MY VALIUM INTAKE TO ABOUT 50 MG, AND TAPER FROM THERE...

ashton manual is too long of a taper, im impatient and am always tired. I can handle this.

Any feedback appreciated. wheeeeeeeeew, I hope ill be okay.

Sweet Girl,
YOu know I am here for you.  I am laying in bed about to go to sleep.  I just found out some great news myself! You know how I am going get off the rest of my lovely Opana (in a week) as I wrote you earlier??? I just read the posts saying Lyrica is super addictive, and I am on a high dose for pain.  AAAwww man!!! Did I need that?

Well, I know you have your battles, Babe.  I am here for you.  I am going to do my best to help you get what you need, maybe some support in your area--if it comes to that, and if I can.

Love, Marie

Well see how you feel in a couple days. If your withdrawls feel the same as your other drops or different? That would be a good gauge to use.

Totally stopping the xanax at 1.25 mg is not recommended. Why don't you just drop your dose again? How do you take them now? A few times a day?
Valium once a day?

hey my friend. you have done so great with your taper. i am so proud of you. i am not sure you should flush the xanax. your taper is working so great. you have continued to drop your dose. you have tapered down 2.75mgs in 3 months.you are almost there.
did you already flush them?
i think i remember you telling me you had a doctor helping you with your taper,right? now what will  happen?
hugs,support,encouragment,prayers
