A member asked:
Been using 10-15mg diazepam, also occasionally oxazepam daily for 3 months (prescribed) now tapering off over a period of 5 weeks, reducing by around 3mg per week as advised by dr. what's the chances of a seizure or something awful happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The risk of experiencing a seizure or other serious complications during benzodiazepine tapering can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's overall health, the dosage and duration of benzodiazepine use, and the specific tapering plan followed. Tapering under medical supervision is generally considered safer than attempting to quit abruptly. Follow your doctor's advice.
