Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Benzodiazepines?: Maybe you meant to type "benzodiazepines" rather than "benzopines"? If so, the answer depends on which specific medication you mean. Different ones have different half-lives -- some quite long, and others much shorter. If you wonder about a specific medication, please ask again and we'll try to respond helpfully.

Why does a long half-life mean a long withdrawal? Xanax (alprazolam) and oxycodone have short hls but w/d can last months. Why would suboxone. Be longer?
