withdrawal from benzo's can last a long long time....or for some people, there's not problem at all. the best method is to do a taper as everyone else suggested. luckily valium is the drug of choice for a taper. the next step is to discuss a taper plan with your doctor. whats your dose?

a proper taper will take quite some time to complete. usually they do not drop you more than 10% per week, if i remember right. make a plan with your doctor and let us know how you're doing!

I hope you respond back. I agree with everyone above. There should be a taper of the meds because of the risks envovled such as seizures. Feel free to send a note or respond back. There are a great deal of support here for you.

Valium can be a dangerous one to come off of, hopefully you will check back in.

Not easy to answer.  Are you tapering?  What dose and for how long?  You really have to taper valium.
