I took about 4 times that much over 20 years and have had seriously bad withdrawal. It took about a year for me to taper off and I stopped after I was taking just about .5 mg a week. Then the withdrawal symptoms hit after the effects of the drug wore off. I also quit drinking and it was almost 4 mo. before I stopped the benzos. HTH
