........A psychiatrist who did some of the basic research in developing Valium recommends tapering off a benzodiazepine 50% of your baseline dose in the first 2-4 week period, then interrupting the taper process for several months (staying at 50%), then continuing with the final taper attempt. You might consider going back up a little until your prostatitis resolves - then resume the withdrawal.

Blue,
Thanks for mentioning that tidbit of advice on the BZD withdrawal. I bet you could also apply that to an SSRI withdrawal successfully. I have been trying to ditch Celexa for the last month, and to stop it cold gets really tough after a few days and then I have to break down and take another small dose.
