It's long acting, isn't it? Couldn't you try to take a little less?
(Unless you want to take your pain all in one hit.)

Have you tried cutting the dose in half by taking 1 cap at night (so you can sleep)?

I did that (but not with Tranxene) and was back to normal in 3 weeks.

Stop it very slowly. Its a nasty one to withdraw from and I cold turkeyed it 9 years ago and I still have some strange scalp spasms and spinal/back muscle oddities. Go figure a student health clinic associated with a top tier hospital.


Anyhow, I would go no more than 10% a week down on it since you've been on it for that long. Or possibly convert it over to a single dose Valium regime, although that can get complicated substituting one for another.
