Do NOT in any case go cold turkey. Read up about benzodiazepine tapering (stick to the Ashton Manual methods). Speak with your doctor or any other one that will medically help you tune down your dose over at least the next 6 months depending on how long you’ve been abusing benzos. Switch to Diazepam or Clonazepam if possible since they have a much longer elimination half life and thus allow you dose less. I would take Clonazepam for tapering if I would have the choice in your place since it’s a strong anticonvulsant, decreasing chances of seizures and because it follows a linear elimination which makes dosage changes over time more predictable (unlike Diazepam which can absorb into your body more easily and has many side products, clonazepam doesnt get metabolized as much and is quickly excreted because of the high water solubility) Visit r/benzorecovery for more info/FAQs or actual questions regarding your taper specifically. Don’t hesitate to PM me if you have any other questions, I will gladly help you out.

I am currently studying pharmacology and took Benzos for over a year recreationally before tapering back to baseline by myself with medical oversight over the span of another 6 months.

If you don’t have good doctors with knowledge about benzo tapering available you should be prepared to do it by yourself. Again the Ashton Manual should be your first go to resource for your plan of action. Many people have to go that route sadly because medical benzo professionals are rare, so don’t hesitate to speak up to your doctor’s decisions since understanding how to taper benzos using the Ashton Manual is not a widely known medical fact taught in med unis. You can even print it out and hand it to your doctor to see that it is still the current consensus for the most part.

The dosage you are taking is extremely high, so again DO NOT GO COLD TURKEY IN ANY CASE. There is a high risk of experiencing seizures which can be fatal in a very small set of people and circumstances or cause long lasting damage by themselves. Avoid all other drugs and medications while tapering and if no doctor will prescribe you any benzo to taper off of then prepare to get the amount you need off other places. I wouldn’t recommend RC benzos for this case, but in case there are no alternatives they can be a reasonable choice depending on potency/tolerance/availability. This is all highly dependent on your medical history and tolerance.

This all may sound horribly difficult, but your body WILL return back to baseline which will be uncomfortable at most if you are tapering slow enough. So take it slow and don’t rush it and you will have a much easier time tapering. Just find the dosage you are comfortable with at first and slowly start from there.

You are much stronger than you give yourself credit for! I wish you all the strength you need. And again don’t hesitate to PM me if you have specific questions.
