Psychosis following lorazepam withdrawal
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
A sixty three year old woman developed an organic psychosis after stopping lorazepam. She had taken a high dosage of the drug for 4 years but had discontinued it gradually in reducing doses over six months. It suggests that serious withdrawal reactions may still occur despite gradual cessation and highlights the importance of total dose ingested as a predictor of withdrawal phenomena.
