HOW DO I COME OFF MY PILLS? RAPID WITHDRAWAL

If you are impatient to be drug-free, and particularly if you are fit and not a very long-term user, you may wish to use Professor Lader’s 4 or 6 week rapid withdrawal plan.

There are many views on how best to withdraw. Discuss with your doctor which way would be best for you.

Points in Favour of Rapid Withdrawal:

1. A drug-free state is reached earlier.

2. There is psychological benefit from not having to swallow an abhorrent substance any longer than necessary.

3. Best method for impatient people.

4. Best method for short-term users.

Here is an example- of Professor Malcolm Lader’s recommendations. It is not safe to withdraw faster than this.

RAPID WITHDRAWAL TABLE

VALIUM (DIAZEPAM) 15 mg (2 mg tablets)

Week No. Morning Lunchtime Evening Total

1. 2 tabs. 2 tabs. 2 tabs. 6 tabs. = 12 mg

2. 1 1\2 tabs. 1 1\2 tabs. 1 1\2 tabs. 4 1\2 tabs.= 9 mg

3. 1 tab. 1 tab. 1 tab. 3 tabs. = 6 mg

4. 1\2 tab. 1\2 tab. 1\2 tab. 1 1\2 tabs.= 3 mg

For a dose of 30 mg Valium daily, six weeks is the minimum withdrawal period. If this method is too quick to tolerate, change to a slower one.
