"Excruciating" would be an understatement. I tried tapering a number of times, failing totally. After 7+ years, latter daily amounts of 12 mg or more, and a final downing of perhaps 30 mg or more (the end of the bottle), I went cold turkey. It was the worst two weeks of my life. So, I don't recommend that route, for sure.Talking 7 years later - am I glad i did it? Damn right! I might still feel like crap, but at least I don't feel like crap AND have a monkey on my back.
What I'm saying is that if you're gonna stop benzos, prepare for it to suck.
