Tapering off over the course of a few months or longer is especially important for benzodiazepines. Not doing so can lead to seizures or death. Luckily, it'll be pretty obvious to the patient if they are going too quickly and tapering slowly should lead to minimal side effects. Cannabis can also help some here. Unfortunately, most psychiatrists and doctors have no experience with this and will even discourage patients. Often, patients will have to just get a supply and do this on their own. https://www.benzo.org.uk/index.htm https://www.benzo.org.uk/index.htm is a great resource of people who are doing this and probably the most valuable out there. Psychiatrists, in my experience, are not your friend in this process. They're the pill pushers and dope dealers. Of course they don't want their patients to taper off and discover a better life. Where would they get their money from if people stopped buying their bullshit about 'chemical imbalances?' What this industry has perpetrated on millions of people is downright inhumane, all so a few doctors and pharma companies can get rich. It is very possible, however, to taper off this garbage and get back to leading a normal life afterwards. That includes benzos, SSRIs, and other 'anti-depressant' garbage like Welbutrin. I know from experience. If this is something you want to do, don't let these vile doctors keep you addicted to their garbage and their bullshit, away from a real life.
