Come off slowly over 2 weeks - get a script for the 20mg capsules, and use them to make small reductions in dose... 160mg/day is 8 capsules, so take 7 x 20mg a day for 2 days, then 6 x 20mg a day for 2 days, then 5 a day for 2 days etc, until you are down to 1 per day. If this is too quick a wothdrawl, make it 4 days between doseage reductions, be guided by your bodys reaction.

Having a few tablets of a benzodiazepine could help you ride through any rough patches, maybe ask your doctor for 10 tabs of 1mg Ativan for example, and take one if you feel bad.
