I wish you so well with this. Im 2.5 days off codeine. I wasnt taking those levels of pills each day but all i can say about diazepam is that they do alleviate withdrawl symptoms and help sleep but they are also very addictive. I had them for 10 days to get over another health matter not drug related but doctor was adamant they would not prescribe me anymore. Diazepam is commonly used for alcoholics who are stopping drinking. I think they might help your sister to get over the first week of withdrawal but they will then come a point when the diazepam will stop and that could be a very difficult situation for your sister. Your sister’s doctor would be best placed to devise a way forward. Maybe get your sister to post on here when shes feeling better to do so. I do not believe coming off addiction can be truly easy alone, its always easier being part of a self help group where people who have walked in same shoes. With covid its all a bit difficult to meetup in addiction groups, such as NA, or AA, but this place which i have only discovered today Adfam is a really good starting point. Good luck to you and your sister.
