lormetazepam, I gather is an alcohol based liquid.  Same doctor (Roberto Leone) in this study as the one who co-wrote Letter to the Editor posted on thread by abcd about Megadose benzos.  Again here with the flumazenil detox for "cases of more serious dependence (higher doses, for a longer period, with more severe withdrawal symptoms during attempts to cut down or stop taking benzodiazepines)".

Benzodiazepine consumption is slowly growing and abuse is increasing in Italy...

Benzodiazepine addiction is a widespread phenomenon, but paradoxically is of little interest to scientific research. Medical literature does not suggest anything new compared with the classic treatment approach (gradual reduction with long-acting benzodiazepines) and severe abuse is underestimated, even though withdrawal crises are potentially severe and dangerous. The purpose of this study, conducted in the context of a hospital addiction unit, was to determine which benzodiazepines were abused, and to look for correlations with the characteristics of detoxified patients.
