Since you are taking both Librium and lorazepam since 1 month, it has to be tapered down slowly. And yes it cannot be stopped abruptly and has to be consulted with psychiatrist and reduce under supervision.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern. If you will stop Librium (Chlordiazepoxide) and Lorazepam suddenly, it can increase the risk of withdrawal symptoms, including seizures. I suggest, to take help of your psychiatrist to provide a gradual tapering schedule to safely discontinue the medications. Meanwhile it is recommended to take professional therapy sessions for withdrawal symptoms management. Therapy, relaxation techniques, hydration, and a structured routine can help manage withdrawal symptoms. Psychometric testing will help to understand personality issues.

Hi there, As per your description, It appears that you had Seizures while on the withdrawal phase of Alcohol. You have been advised Librium and other drugs. There is proposed regimen for Alcohol Dependence. As you have undergone seizures, Don’t do the stoppage of Librium by yourself. Consult your psychiatrist for further advice.
