Phillipa,
I think it is great that you have been tapering your benzos. I'm sure you know about the Ashton manual - British doctor that has a course of gradual withdrawal from the benzos. Basically she does a substitution to valium and then starts tapering the valium. It can be a bit more complicated, but the different procedure's are explained very well for the different drugs.One of the problems with benzos is that you require more to achieve the same effect over time, but you are experiencing more fatigue and more anxiety at the lower dosages. The fatigue part is confusing. I wish I had an explanation, but try to hang in there you only have maybe less than a month to go before your next appointment.
