Agree, Don't listen to Dr., Start tapering now until down to no more than 1mg. a day or less. U can do it over next 2 months. Drs. in it for money, not ur addiction,as this is just as addicting, just acceptable,as manufacturer taking it in! Don't fall victim... Just supposed to be used to ease ur w/d,not as substitute. Most prescribing Drs, barely educated in program. Been there for six long expensive yrs, before realizing,due to my own research,that I needed to take matters n to my own hands,.Don't make same mistake! Taper now!!!!!!

Dukee,do u mean 8mg daily for a month? If so, I would certainly start tapering down to as little as u can and still feel OK, not high. U will be surprised how little it will take. Don't keep taking what Dr says or u will have hard time. Do it now and get down to as little as 1/2 mg a day,then jump off .... Good Luck, just remember if the longer u stay on,just becomes another addiction...Don't listen to Dr.,u will be sorry.

You havent been on them real long but you will want to taper slowly.  Has the doctor explained how to go about the taper?
