> I have switched benzos many times. Always advised to transition 25%/week. So the transition takes 4 weeks. It can be done more rapidly but I have never had the urgency to do so.
If you're on a small amount maybe -- sometimes 10% a week is all that one can stand, from the perspective of someone on a high benzodiazepine with possible reductions. Its all an individual thing, and if any symptoms or side effects should come roaring back, the reduction or transfer should be scaled back considerably below 25%. There's always time, even if life is short, it goes on despite transitioning or reduction.
