Tapering go slow

I second what Ciclista said. Many doctors recommend large dosage drops and skipping days while tapering. That worsens withdrawal symptoms. Make slow, steady tapers and don’t skip days. Instead of following a calendar schedule to plan your tapering, go by how you feel.. After each taper, wait until you have gone through a couple cycles of windows and waves before tapering again. The last wave before a taper should be so mild that you barely feel it.
It’s very hard to describe how mindfulness helps in withdrawal. It’s a very subjective and personal thing to examine your thoughts. It begins with recognizing that a series of thoughts are obsessive or outside you normal thoughts. Then, try to replace that thought with something else, or dismiss it each time it floats to the surface of your mind. It doesn’t work in the beginning. Withdrawal creates obsessive thoughts of such power that they are very hard to control. In combination with a slower tapering schedule, though, mindfulness can have a big impact on your quality of life. I hope you feel better soon.
