How To Withdraw From Valium?

How can I slowly withdraw from low dosage i.e. (3 x a day, half a valium) (5mg) (total 7.5mg in 24 hours) to reduce panic disorder.. symptoms? I want to replace with a antianxiety medication that is COMPATIBLE with valium, until I no longer need to take valium. At night I take Axit 15 mg and my doctor has prescribed Zactin 20 mg - however he states that I must go off valium in order to take this. Please inform of some helpful suggestions. Thankyou.
