> Thanks! Benzobuddies is helping me w/d from my c/o to valium from klonopin. Just like they helped the lady in the above article. It's hell tapering a benzo, and a long one at that! But Im doing it. No way could I have tapered directly from klon.

I'm so happy to hear your taper is going well, I've been following your progress. Can I ask, was it your doctor's idea to do the c/o to Valium, or did you request to do it that way? I've read the Ashton stuff and it seems to make a lot of sense but I've never had a prescriber suggest this way. I'm trying to taper down my Ativan use from a daily med to an as needed basis right now. The nice thing is that the PA that I work with knows that the withdraw can be really hard and promised me I would never get "cut off" and that I am in control of the pace. That alone is much better than the time I was forced to do a 1 month taper off klonopin which ended up being a very traumatic experience. And it was with a pdoc who should have known better. I had been on daily klonpin for 3 years! Always took it as prescribed...

Please continue to post about your path to benzo free it really helps me to hear success stories. Thanks!
