Neal, thanks,
With regards to your first point - I agree. But if you read some of the boards (such as benzobuddies, etc.) you see nothing but horror stories that make me question my sanity for using these meds at all.
I've been at .5 for a bit and feel stable on it. A little discomfort for a couple of days at first and some lingering mild tinnitus - but nothing too bad.
I'll stay here for a couple of weeks before tapering lower. Going down from .5 to .4, etc. seems like too much touble in pill cutting. Ideally, I'd like to go to .25 and then down to nothing. . .but could cut pill into 1/4 and go to .375, .25, .125 and then nothing. . .This seems like a long taper to me (4 months start to beginning and who knows how long to stabilize afterwards). . I would hate to streatch it out longer than this.
