Hello...I was on Soma for some time.  I weaned off by cutting them in half, then quarters.  It wasn't long before I could just stop.

Hi there- It's probably a safe dose to quit from but I would still taper off. After 5 years you're body is dependant on them and you're already nervous. Just cut down your daily amount for a few weeks. Did you ask your prescribing doctor about this?
