What dose of Valium? After almost 18 years of using Valium 5mg 2-3x/week for insomnia I have finally quit the drug. Since January 2020 I have used it 3 times when I became desperate to sleep. I’m now using cypro 0.5 mg twice a week to sleep. I do have to admit I felt much better on Valium. In the past few months I have gained 10 lbs and just don’t feel all that great. After struggling to get off the Valium I am seriously thinking of using it for my unrelenting insomnia and to feel ‘normal’ again.

Sorry... Had to do that to protect my bacon... I live in a beautiful paradise of freedom of expression against large institutions... The Great White North.. That's a good joke.
Holy cow! After that many -Years- of Valium (I tried it once.. It's more fast-acting than clonazepam ) you just quit cold turkey and are still alive... I and most others would have had seizures, the mist brutal state of Nervous system overactivity and such poor sleep we would be dead.
I've only been able to come off a 1,5 mg clono dependency over almost two years with the insanely slow reduction pointed above and progesterone to re-adapt my brain....
Two years and I'm still in the last .25 of clono milligram.
What you did was superhuman... If you cannot handle the torment, what I would do in your position is to go back but to the absolutely most minimal dose, and add progesterone, a Woman can take as much as she wants to... Because I know what a hell it is to try to come off these little monsters cold turkey.
