If your only on 10 mg of Vals a day i would reccomend 1mg every week. I was taking over 100mg a day (stupid i know) and after almost a year im now on only 3 if you take 1mg off a week you shouldnt feel much. We are all different. good luck my freind. Stay well
I forget the name but it is a well known taper available online that mentions subbing V for X or other B's.
It is also a slow process. I know that seizures and death can happen if not properly tapered.
Good luck to those doing this.
It’s called the Ashton method

I just want to update this. I have successfully come off benzos after a horrific time trying to stop them after years of being on. Inderal is the reason I was able to quit the benzos. It stopped many of the withdrawal symptoms so I finally was able to quit. Tapers weren’t working. For me inderall was like magic. 20 mg as needed. Sometimes 40 mg. I really urge everyone to get a script for this if you want to be able to kick the benzos to the curb.

Thank you. I do have other issues I have to deal with in terms of my psychiatric health but I’m glad benzo dependence is not one of them.
