Re: Withdrawal from 'Z' Drugs

Simple withdrawal from zolpidem 10mg (Ambien), once nightly with diazepam substitution

Allthough not a true benzodiazepine, zolpidem is a short acting hypnotic acting on the GABA-BZD receptors (the same as benzodiazepines). Withdrawal is similar over prolonged periods, and so substitution with a long acting benzodiazepine such as diazepam is beneficial.
