Hello, I have started a taper I want to be off and have it timed with my vacation to be totally off by dec.19 of this year.It goes like this currrently at 45 mgs. been on 3 months I will ask to drop 5mgs. every 7days till I get to 15mgs. I will then ask to drop 1mg every otherday non stop. I have been reading all the hepful info. and am amazed at the caring and knowledgeable,wonderful people here.I have started to eat right take vit. and exercise. Oh IM 59years old. I hope to document every detail, in hopes of helping others get off this cr**. What are your thoughts?

good luck iwillbfree!

you can definitely do it, just stay positive and stick to your plan! i did my taper pretty fast as i started feeling the withdrawals bad when i got down to 15mg but i didnt do any research or plan for the waves to start crashing. multi vitamins and b-complex sublingual really helped me along with immodium, melatonin and 2-3 protein shakes a day.
