You are gonna have side effects. This is an addictive drug and not good for any of us. I was on Lorazepam for 20years. Equivalent to 30 mg of diazepam. It took me 5 months. But now I am 4 months off and sleep pretty well. The first few months are a little off an on but eventually I slept. Just do your best and slowly taper like the Ashton's Manual says. Google the manual and maybe that will make you feel a little better knowing how the real professionals suggest doing it. Keep us posted please. Best of luck. Ruby S
