I get a bit disheartened in this process of tapering because it's really grueling and it goes on and on and on. But when I look at the actual figures, I feel a bit better, because I can see the progress.
I started seriously tapering in 2021, and by mid 2022, I had cut my dose in half. This year, compared with 2022, I have reduced my dose by 60%.
David Powers, one of my two favorite benzo withdrawal experts (the other one being Michael Priebe of The Lovely Grind) talks about The Benzo Turning Point, which is around 5 mg of Valium, where you're kind of in the home stretch of recovery. I'm now around 3 mg a day, so that's encouraging.
