I know you cannot give as advice on tapering but it helps to know others experience with tapering.

I tried over and over to taper, but knowing there were pills down the hall always made me fail. I'd suggest that you talk to your doctor. And no matter what get someone you can trust to give you the meds per the plan and then hide them. If tapering is your choice then all the best.

My doc had given me a taper and he told me no screw ups Iwould only get my refills on Tuesdays and that was it. After going ct before it was enough to keep me on track, ok a day or two I messed up took 1 extra but meant next day I was 1 short.
I did have mild wds every time I decreased my dose an after about two days it would level out. The wds were nothing that really bothered me , slight RLS and just the creepy crawlies in the am all mild and doable. I jumped after two a day , I just didn't see the point of 1 a day, had more wds but all manageable and nothing too crazy. It can be done if you have control and the fear of CT, that's what kept me on track.
Best of luck and if you have any more ??s please feel free to pm me :-)

OK I'm a strong person. I've stuck with taper schedule and I still have pills in purse but not taking except as scheduled. I m so proud of myself. I'm beginning to have hope.  I see each WD symptom as a step closer to FREEDOM. I'm not sure about the can't do it alone thing. Its really hard to reach out when every person in life so far smacks you down and makes fun of you etc. You get to where god and me and this forum is all I want but if its what's holding me back then I surrender
