I used a water taper to come off Ativan…today marks one year off!
-
This helped me get off Benzodiazapines after 30+ years! Now I'm tapering Effexor immediate release, Slow taper is the best way. Thank you for posting this method.
-
Thanks for your information some of us are dying out here.
-
Thank you Dr Josef! I am using this method and it is working great so far. Really appreciate you posting this. You are doing great work as we all move forward together. 👏
-
This has been a God send and I have not held. I use a coffee frother to get that suspension. Then quickly pull up my discard. It’s definitely easy and more exact for me.
-
This is great information. Love your new videos.
-
Outstanding useful information outlining the most likely effective procedure that can be tailored to individual needs in terms of manipulating dose and timing. Gradually spacing dosage over a longer period of time is often useful while reducing the medication. Thanks Dr Josef for providing this critical knowledge!
-
More great info! Thank you🤍
-
Thank you for this valuable information! It's perfect because I'd prefer to have as much control as possible with my taper. So when the time comes for me to end dry cutting, I plan to try the water taper first. Luckily I have a STEM background & my husband's an engineer, so I'm confident that we can do it properly. I'm just praying that my body cooperates with the plan when the time is right. 🤞🏽🙏🏽

I tried this when i had reached tolerance with Xanax... It did not work for me sadly... 😢 I wish it would have but i think i was too much in tolerance already... So my next step had to be the crossover to diazapam.. didnt want to but has to have some relief from interdose withdrawals... Hopefully i am able to taper the diazapam this way easier ... Good luck to everyone suffering from benzos.. it is the most painful thing ive had to live through in my life....

I have done this before and it worked great ……. I did it in 5 months but my life had changed for the better …. Now I have to do it again because I had problems with terrible anxiety. The problem is finding a doctor who understands benzos and is willing to write prescriptions for 10 months to a year …… that is a very real problem
-
Thank you for this info! I would strongly consider doing this for my benzo taper. I asked my doctor to work with me on a taper and we’ve done 2 cuts so far. The withdrawal has been really bad and I haven’t received any encouragement. So I’d much rather do this on my own to ease the withdrawal.

I use water tapering for Pregabalin in a slightly different way - measuring the mg's first and then do the reduction every day and dissolve into a certain amount of millilitres in water. Then i stir it with a specific stirring stick for several minutes and down it. I don't use sugar or anything because it makes me sick and stresses my body. I tend to hold the same dose for a few weeks or a month and then do a reduction and on again. I haven't tried a micro taper because i am a bit scared to cut down every day even if it's safe than doing small reductions every few weeks.

Brilliant
-
Thank you VERY MUCH 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇦🇺 will use this for the Peroxitine when I’m over the Benzo & Mirtazepine rapid taper symptoms, injury’s….
-
This is very good especially for people like me who can't swallow tablets. I normally crush tablets up or crunch them in my mouth.
-
You can also use MCT oil which also increases bioavailability of alot of chemicals and act as a preservative or use alcohol and a dropper (tincture). If you want to thicken up suspensions you can use xanthan gum
-
Clonazepam is sold as a liquid formulation (Rivotrl 2.5mg/ml, in many European countries, at least. If you have tablets, of benzodiazepines that aren't soluble in water, propylene glycol is non-toxic and will dissolve benzodiazepines like diazepam, nitrazepam and clonazepam etc. Most other ones are adequately soluble in water.
-
Do you think you could go over a comprehensive way to dilute the SSRI oral solutions, according to the Maudsley Deprescribing Guide?
-
it's harder with klonopin. I'd have to be changed to valium, but that could make me sick. otherwise I would do this. klonopin is the hardest to get withdrawled from.
