>I have the help of a good doc who is helping me to taper off over a period of months. She said "success" is more important than "time"...

I agree, be patient. The other thing is, sometimes it's easier to taper a longer-acting medication, so sometimes it can help first to switch to an equivalent dose of something similar, but longer-acting, and then to taper that one.

Good luck,

Bob
