Should I go cold turkey or taper off?
I tried cold turkey before and got Librium off my doctor, put me into a situation of I was endlessly tried due to the Librium and couldn't sleep due to the alcohol withdrawl - was hell I don't want to be repeating.
if I have to taper off I could switch from 2 beers a night from almost 2 litre bottles of vodka a night, sound plausible?

It's always best to talk to your Dr in my opinion - I believe very strongly that detox is just too tricky for do it yourself stuff.
If your Dr prescribes Librium again you can explain your past difficulties.
keep in mind - I was exhausted too and I wasn't on meds at all...fatigue and insomnia are both very common.

I did a librium detox and I know exactly what you mean about being exhausted and still unable to sleep. I went three days with zero sleep, then I was able to sleep in spurts of a couple hours at a time for a couple days, then my sleeping returned to normal. That feeling is temporary and honestly it's a small price to pay to remove the risk of a seizure or DT's that can leave you crippled or dead. Please talk to a doc. Detoxing, including tapering off (if you're able to do it, which most apparently aren't - I know I wasn't), is not something to take chances with.
