The type of benzo is kind of irrelevant; what matter is how dependent the body is on it. A light user may not have too tough a time dealing with the withdrawal symptoms. For a heavy user however, whether they take lorazepam or clonzepam will not make a significant difference - the withdrawal in either case can be incredibly dangerous if not handled correctly. Benzos are one of the few classes of chemicals (which also includes alcohol!) whose withdrawal effects can kill; not even heroin is that dangerous. If someone is addicted, they should consult a doctor so they can wean themselves off safely.
What else can I help you with?
Is lorazepam with drawal easier than all other benzo withdrawals?
Lorazepam withdrawal can be challenging, similar to other benzodiazepines, but individual experiences vary widely. Generally, shorter-acting benzodiazepines may cause more intense withdrawal symptoms than longer-acting ones. Some people find lorazepam withdrawal manageable, while others may struggle significantly. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a tailored approach to withdrawal and management.

What drugs start with benzo?
None. Benzo isn't a prefix. It's short for Benzodiazepine, which refers to a specific type of drug. Many benzos end with the suffix -am; alprazolam, clonazepam, lorazepam, diazepam, etc.
Can you die from heroin withdrawal?
Contrary to what "Wiki User" says, no, you cannot die from heroin withdrawals on its own. If you are weaning yourself off of a benzo, or alcohol, you'd be in a potentially life-threatening situation; but that's not because of the heroin withdrawal symptoms (which, by all accounts are horrific, but not life threatening).
Can Klonopin help with Suboxone withdrawal or does it just mask the effects?
Klonopin is classified as a benzodiazepine (benzo).1 While benzos do help with opiate withdrawals, they are just as addictive. Try not to take them on a daily basis, or you run the risk of replacing one habit with another. Actually, it is safer to take Suboxone rather than a benzo every day. That is just my opinion. This is mainly because you can get very high on benzos while (as I am sure you know) Suboxone has a "ceiling" effect," which means that you can't really get high off of it.
Can you drink alcohol on lorazepam?
If i were you i WOULD NOT drink alcohol, while taking any benzo's. It increases the effect of the drug ten fold. I made that mistake once.
Can you take 2 mg lorazepam with Oxycontin?
Yes, just be smart with your dosages because lorazepam is a strong benzo and benzos are potentiators of opiates, so you won't need as much oxy as normal unless you wanna be nodding balls. If lorazepam is a normal medicine for you that you take on a daily basis, then take as much oxy as normal. If you're not tolerant to benzos, careful on how high you dose.
Why do you wean a patient off a short acting benzo with a long acting benzo?
Wean a patient off a short-acting benzodiazepine with a long-acting one to minimize withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of rebound anxiety or insomnia. Long-acting benzodiazepines provide a more stable blood level, allowing for a smoother transition while decreasing the frequency of dosing. This approach also helps to taper the dose gradually, making it easier for the patient to eventually discontinue benzodiazepines altogether. Overall, it promotes safety and comfort during the withdrawal process.
Can you overdose on cyclobenzaprine?
Yes, though fatal overdoses on most Benzodiazepines are rare. In general though, the hypnotic(anti insomnia) benzodiazepines are much more toxic compared to the anxiolytic(anti anxiety) benzo's. Some of the more potent hypnotic benzo's have been fatal on their own in moderate doses. Long acting low potency anxiolytic benzo's such as Diazepam(Valium), Chlordiazepoxide(Librium), Prazepam(Reapam) and Clorazepate(Tranxene) are the least toxic. The moderate acting more potent anxiolytic benzos such as Bromazepam(Lexotan), Oxazepam(Seresta), Lorazepam(Temesta), Alprazolam(Xanax) and Clonazepam(Rivotril) are more toxic, but still not as toxic as any of the hypnotic benzo's. The long acting, low potency hypnotic benzo Flurazepam(Dalmadorm) is the least toxic of the hypnotic benzo's, and the moderately acting moderate to high potency hypnotic benzo's such as Nitrazepam(Mogadon), Temazepam(Normison), Flunitrazepam(Rohypnol) and Lormetazepam (Loramet/Noctamid) are pretty much the most toxic of all Benzo's, and are the most often the cause of fatal overdoses, even when taken on their own. Probably the most toxic of them all are the short acting Benzo's, such as Brotizolam(Lendormin), Triazolam(Halcion) and Midazolam(Dormicum).
Can Valium and ambien cr mask xanax on drug tests?
I would say no. Ambien is a Non Benzodiazepine, which means it offers similar effects of a Benzo, but is not classified as a Benzo it will not register as a Benzo on a drug test. Valium is a Benzo so it would come up positive for Benzo's regardless of it being Valium or Xanax.
