Re: Benzodiazipine maintenance treatment?

Hi Bob,

I've been on xanax since about 1983 - was up to 3mg. (equivalent of 30 mg. valium, so Ashton says), and now down to 1.5 mg. Now I feel I am much less sedated and no longer tired. Others are right, withdrawal is not fun at all. :-(

My 89-year-old mother has been on valium (diazepam) for 50 years or however long it's been out. She takes 5 mg. per day and has never raised the dosage. She is very healthy, by the way.

I've sort of resigned myself that my gaba receptors are messed up - it is not addictive personality. I did manage to reduce the dosage in half and would like to get down to 1mg. per day. Good luck.

Abby
