Obviously if you were to quit a 120mg a day Valium habit cold turkey you would indeed suffer a horrible withdrawal syndrome. This is never recommended for any benzo though and generally speaking so long as you follow a taper, Valium produces the most kindest and most gentle return to sobriety.

Dr. Ashton .. my favourite person. :)Yes, what you said is true. But the original post in this thread made it sound as if Valium is not addicting. Even if you use the Ashton method to come it, it still takes some time. It is addicting. That is the main point I am trying to get across.
