Hello,
It is right that you can not quit drugs like etizolam cold turkey for fear of getting severe withdrawl symptoms.
The best way is to reduce the drug by 1 mg every 3 weeks.
This way your body will keep on adjusting to the successive lower dose in a smooth manner without giving any shock to your body.
It is definitely a time consuming process but the fact is that you can't do it quickly.
Thanks
