Effects of gradual benzodiazepine taper during a fixed 10-day schedule: a pilot study
(1997) In Nordic Journal of Psychiatry 51(4). p.281-286- Abstract
- The aim of this pilot study was to investigate clinical symptoms during a 10-day benzodiazepine (BZD) taper procedure. Twenty-one BZD-dependent patients attended a fixed 10-day inpatient tapering program. The patients developed mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms. Concomitant codeine dependence and initially high BZD serum levels were associated with a worse prognosis.
