Hey! I'm a long time benzo using, and I'm currently trying to tapper off my use at home. (My doctor know, by the way.) I was only given a very small script, and was told I'd get no refills. If anyone has any advice or encouragement for me I'd appriciate it. Thanks!

@resourcefulPond1641 This is a great and relevant topic of discussion. I just want to remind everyone not to mention specific medication names and dosage details, as that is against 7 Cups guidelines.
Let's talk about this though, as it's a topic that affects many of us.

@ladylazarus1971 Yeah I used benzos rather than name the particular one. Is that OK?

@resourcefulPond1641 I'm sorry you're feeling bad. It's a tough thing you're doing, to wean off the addictive meds. Try to stay strong. I's not at all easy.

I have actually started checked out apps that might help, if that's what you meant. Hopefully some might be helpful.

I'm also a long time benzo abuser. I've been considering getting clean.

@Prismgirll Good luck to you if you do it! I think the key is planning ahead and doing a longer taper; and getting some kind of support, from family, a close friend, loved one, or a sympathetic Dr.

Check out: https://www.benzo.org.uk/ That is the gold standard for treatment, so just try and follow that as closely as possible!
