Can you take diazepam to stop the withdrawal effects of lorazepam?

Talk to your doctor: They are in the same family of compounds. Work with your doctor to withdraw or get off of Alprazolam, since there are withdrawal symptoms. Usually might be helpful to use a longer acting benzodiazepine, but they all have addictive or psychological dependence issues.

You or I? (Can you): The two medications have similar effect and side-effect. It is like changing wine's brand.

You should discuss: with you doctor and wean off the lorezepam slowly to avoid withdrawl. Taking another benzodiaapam is not the answer.
