Hi Windysan
I looked up that ashton Manual,and they seem to want money for it at most sites,but I got on a UK website where you can read it for free.

I WAS really mad AGAIN at my detox I went through,when reading Dr. Ashtons opinion of in-patient detox's approach to Benzo tapering/WD.I would fall under her description of the person who got addicted by prescrition.I never in my life have taken a benzo to "get high"...they were all prescribed,and only more than directed for a short time b4 detox.

They took me from 4mgs a day of xanax plus 60mgs restoril..to ZERO....
They could have killed me!!

ahhhhh..Anyways

So if I'm at 1.25mg a day of xanax,I should start my taper at 25mgs of valium/day???????

That seems like an awful lot of valium,and valium makes me reeeeeeeeally sleepy.
I'll do it.if it works.My doc is pretty progressive and internet saavy(he's actually checked out this forum!)...I know he'll give me the valium if I show him what I'm trying to do ,online.

QUESTION: did you do her deal? what were you on/how much/and how fast did you taper???
Her theories all make sense...1.25mg must be my true addicted amount,according to her theory.

Anyways...all info of your experience would be appreciated.I'd like to be completely drug free by the start of next Baseball season(5 months)

Thanxxxxxx
