[La...] Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 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." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19567771 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
