Benzodiazepine detox: common questions

Why can I not just stop benzodiazepines?

Abrupt discontinuation can cause seizures and severe rebound anxiety. A medical taper is the safe approach.

How long does a benzo taper take?

It varies widely, from a couple of weeks to a few months, depending on the dose, the drug, and how long you have taken it.

Is benzo withdrawal dangerous?

It can be. Like alcohol, it carries a seizure risk, which is why supervised detox is recommended.
