I know quiting cold turkey is VERY BAD!!!! When I was in rehab the people who were taking Benzo's were given some sort of Anti seizure medication at the Rehab. So either talk to your Doctor or call a Treatment Center ASAP ...Good Luck

Yep dr says you have to taper of benzos, could cause seizures, I agree need to go to ERj and be up front and honest with them. I had to taper off ativan, halcion, but went cold turkey on vics and somas. They are nasty things to mess with getting off of. Be safe and be honest to ER or GP.

well the bright side is that diazepam is generally the standard drug used for a benzo taper....but the bad part is this is something that needs lots of time to be done correctly and it also needs to be supervised.

is 10mg your daily dose? there are plenty of taper plans that you can look at online...but they require time and they really are just a point of reference. ultimately it should be something you do with your doctors help and supervision. the absolute worse case scenario would be to go cold turkey...second to that is to try to taper on your own without help from your doc. while its better than going cold turkey, its still not the most responsible method to use. there are standards for tapers but everyone is different and responsds different which is why a doctor is needed.

Do you have insurance?  If you do not have a doctor go to a urgent care or an ER to get help.  Take care.
