In reply to Stopping a benzo abruptly?, posted by KaraS on July 20, 2005, at 14:09:11
> I know that there's a strong risk of seizures if you've been on a benzo for a while and you stop taking it abruptly. How long before you stop taking it does this become a problem? I'm worried that if I got a stomach flu or food poisoning, would I have to get myself to an emergency room ASAP in order to have an IV drip of the medication?
ALWAYS stop a benzo EXTREMELY slowly. Some people CAN drop them cold turkey, but better to be safe then sorry...
