Q) the most dangerous withdrawal symptom can be expected from

• diazepam
• clonazepam
• chlordiazepoxide
• lorazepamsafest to liver
• oxazepam safest to liver

[Dr. X]

this is a toughie..

whichever has the shortest half life elimination could easily cause symptoms upon abrupt cessation.. (use has to be somewhat long-term though) then my guess would be..

lorazepam - leading to seizures.


also, in mgmt of withdrawal.. they're given long-acting benzo's.
