Hi Phillipa,
Thirty 10mg. tabs. of Valium @ 15mgs./day would be a 20 day supply, no?
That's going to leave you with a pretty fast taper. From my experience, that would be far from easy and an unnecessary hardship (in spite of Valium's long half-life).
From what I've read, current medical thinking is against a fast taper, especially in the case of long-term benzo use.
Would your current pdoc be able to refer you to a pdoc in the area you're moving to?
Please don't take me for a "benzo-phobe" from my previous post. My switch from Klonopin to Valium was only to reduce depression caused by Klonopin. I am for "what works".
Best wishes,
zero
