Abstract
Long-term prescriptions of benzodiazepines are made mainly to elderly and female patients. Withdrawal treatments should be carried out gradually over a period of several weeks. Sleep and depressive disorders during benzodiazepine withdrawal can best be treated with sedating antidepressants. The few studies on this subject suggest psychoeducation, motivational strategies and cognitive behavioural therapy as having some efficacy.
