Favorite eye creams ? <| sep |> F keys and anything to the right <| sep |> Yeah , ok , he sounds like an asshat . Many of them are , it seems . Mine was an arrogant prick and I got a bit of joy out of firing him . Your doctor was right about the valium , but not the dosage or duration . I know how it feels to be in this situation . You can ' t trust any doctors and you feel like you ' re on your own . You can totally do this , though . . 25 is a pretty amazing point to get to . I ' m willing to wager you were originally taking quite a bit more . I think a lot of your problem might be interdose withdrawal and you are getting slammed between doses . If you can cut your dose in half or thirds and space it out throughout the day , maybe it will ease up a bit . Wait until you feel somewhat stabilized for a week before tapering more . You might have an easier time tapering clonazepam or valium instead . But please don ' t give up on life or yourself . Coming off this crap has probably been one of the least pleasant experiences in my life , but it ' s getting so much better and it ' s really nice to not be dependent on that crap anymore . Most days I feel hopeful again and it ' s pretty great . I bet that if you hang on that you ' ll get there , too . Do you have a therapist or someone else to talk to ? It may help , if you aren ' t doing that already .
