I went to my GP today and told him that I have been using Valium for 2 months. I started using it when I quit drinking and started with 60 mg and am currently on 20 mg. He told me to taper it off to 0 in one week and gave me some Oxazepam if the withdrawal gets really bad. I told him that the tapering schedules I found on the net advise to taper it off more slowly but he told me that 2 months and 20 mg isn't that bad.

Did anyone had experience with tapering off so fast and will the withdrawal be really bad?

Thanks Nakur!
