I dropped from 5mg a day to 2.5mg a day for a week. The first 2 days were okay. Then day 3 I felt like crap for 48 hours. I found ibuprofen helped with beach aches and other weird vision problems. Then I dropped to 1.25mg a day for 10 days. Same thing, first come of days were okay and then day 3-5 was terrible. Then I was fine till the next cut. Next one I dropped to 0.65 mg a day. Did that for a week or more and then switch to taking it every second day for a week. That was fine. Then I stopped completely. The first few days were hard but then it was sort of bearable. Again, I took ibuprofen for headaches. I got to 10 days and then felt really crap. I then took 1.25mg and was good. Then stopped for another 8 days and was pretty good. Then I messed up and took 1mg of etiz. And man for like 5 days I felt horrible. Like real bad. And then stupidly I took another 0.5mg of etiz and had 3 more days of feeling shit. And that’s where I am not. Had been taking the diazepam for 5 years.
