Water Titration

CAUTION: The information contained in this document comes from the personal experience of laypeople and is not intended to constitute medical advice. Do not attempt to stop or taper benzodiazepines without first consulting a doctor.

What is Titration? 

Titration is merely mixing your pill with water to allow you to precisely measure your dose. Then you slowly reduce your dose every day, instead of cutting pills every two weeks. This method allows your body to adjust to the reductions in a very subtle and gentle way and allows you to have greater control over the rate of your taper. 

Why use the Water Titration Method? 

Taper rates are dictated by the brain’s ability to adjust to the absence of the drug. This rate varies from individual to individual depending on their health, dosage, duration they have been on benzodiazepines, and other factors. Tapering in as small an increment as possible is the safest method, and titration provides the ability to control the taper by minute amounts. Benzos are powerful drugs. A controlled titration minimizes withdrawal symptoms. 

Using the water titration method you can… obtain smaller daily cuts, taper from any benzodiazepine, and adjust your taper rate to suit your individual tolerance.
