Study, Mar./16: "Clonazepam withdrawal-induced catatonia"


[La...]

Recommended Posts

Here's a very good reason not to "cold-turkey" a benzodiazepine.

 

"OBJECTIVE: There have been only two cases presented in the literature postulating benzodiazepine-withdrawal as a possible trigger for malignant catatonia. Here, the authors present a case of catatonia likely caused by abrupt benzodiazepine discontinuation; they also discuss neurobiological mechanisms relating to catatonia."
