Abstract

 

The management of patients who have become dependent on benzodiazepines and analogues is a problem frequently encountered in both somatic and psychiatric medicine. No pharmacological treatment is currently recognized as effective in the management of these addictions, apart from a gradual reduction of doses. We propose practical strategies for the implementation of gradual dose reduction and choice of molecules while promoting individual adaptation to the withdrawal symptoms presented by the patient.
