My doctor might have done a disservice to me by keeping me on subs for 2yrs. I now take 2mgs/day and CANT stop due to wds. Any advice?

yep.. it keeps cutting itself in half... most people don't know that about half lives.. yes.. that is why it is easier to taper than a lot of drugs.. you can make cuts without really feeling it..

You are ok taking the benzo's just be careful... The tabs will  more than likely not bust through... at 36 hours half of whatever you took last will still be in your system.. not to mention the doses from the day before and the day before that.. Subs half life is 36 hours... so if you took 12 mgs on tuesday... for example... early thursday you would still have 6mgs left in your body.. 36 hours after that.. 3mgs.. 36 hours after that 1.5 mgs... essentially at 108 hours after your last dose there is still some left... crazy long half life..

I assumed half-life meant that at 36 hrs. its half gone. than in another 36 the other half. I didnt think it just kept cutting in half everthing 36 hrs.? then there would always be some little amount in you, right?
