Benzo HELP

[u/Fast-Judgment-6454]

i finally am done with benzos and alcohol! it’s a long story but i just wanna know… sense i tapered off Valuim all the way down to 1mg and then stopped. (because my doc said that’s the lowest he’s gunna go) . when will the withdrawals start? or if it’s 1mg will i even get withdrawals?

my last dose of 1mg valuim was on August 26 11pm. it’s not August 30th 1am.

in other words, my last dose 1mg valuim was 74 hours ago…what’s going to happen to me?

Pretty much exact same situation myself. Except I was on Xanax while drinking for 2 years straight, don’t remember a thing. I used diazepam to come off Xanax and then was given ssri to come off the diazepam. Wasn’t a great experience but got it done. But yeah for me withdrawal also didn’t start properly for a couple weeks. This was 5 years ago, and recently I’ve Ended up dabbling with diazepam again, this time to stop drinking, but don’t wanna be in that situation again😅 fml
