A member asked:

Is benzodiazepine withdrawal neurotoxic or is that only the case in the event of a seizure? is this the only manner in which brain damage may explicitly occur during withdrawal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benzo withdrawal: Benzo withdrawal may be extremely dangerous if you have been on a fairly high amount for a prolonged period of time on a daily basis (dependency.) The seizures that may occur if withdrawal reaches that stage do not usually cause brain damage and neurological status is usually normal after recovery. But seizures from benzo may result in death, so you need to call a detox facility ASAP if you can
